Sentinel of Hell

blind
guardian
at the gates
of hell
fated
to watch
the tormented
souls
to shield
our world
from the hordes
of the damned

ghastly
apparitions
wandering
beyond the gate
wretched specters
residents of hell
glimpses
of the other side
warding off
the horrifying wraiths
the sentinel
returns them to the pit

evil spirits of the dead
yearning to escape
unrelenting vigilance
sentinel of hell
