//------------------------------// // The Book (poem) // Story: The Nocturnal Collection // by TheNocturnalLoner //------------------------------// Woe be upon thou who open this book Beware the screams and wails of those who are damned Cursed thou shall be, after taking thine first look Tarried and hounded until thy senses are bland Mine own greed hath caused me to fall A pursuit of things not meant to be seen A vicious she-wolf that devours all Hath plunged me into this hellish dream Fly up to Paradise, the land of eternal salvation Power that we are not meant to control Or fall to Tartarus, the plane of eternal damnation Broken faith and sin shall stain the soul Choice, and your choices alone shall carve out your fate Quickly, turn back now, for thou it is not yet too late
