Dear devil

Life is wonderful

And the river trip

Was soulful - well worth

The single coin to

Journey on the dark

And lovely River Styx.

But as the light is

Totally eclipsed

I realise I can't

Swap eternal sunshine

For a single kiss

And must now disembark

Before I'm missed.

Darling devil,

I wish you well

But all things equal

I couldn't stand

All the upheaval

Of joining you in Hell.
