Wrote this as an assignment when I was 14. It was my first poem.
The Land

I glance about me in terror and fright
As the Prince himself draws near in all might
His hood of darkness doth cover his face
His cloak of black pain hides deadly grace
His claws wrap around a torch flaming bright
He tells me, “For you this will be a long night.”
A pair of red eyes are agleam with deep hate
As the victor unlocks Hells very own gates
With a creak and shiver open it swings
While the beasts own people send tormented screams
The stench is rising in a darkening grey mist
The serpent breathes deeply showing strange bliss
My heart it does tremble and this he now knows
My body convulses in fear and it shows
I'm made to step forward to look down the hole
Fire leaps up its shadow too bold
My eyes shut so tight at the scene down there
Bodies blood swimming and bone figures bare
Death's own hand akin with the beast
Stretches abroad to deliver this feast
Wingless angels dance their lustful employ
Made for only their king to enjoy
A pressure so hard on me I can feel
I turn and face the creature so still
He wickedly smiles his teeth sharp at most
He says, “Join the party, I am the host.
I'll take of your innocence until you have none
When you think it's the end then it's only begun
You will become my bride to be
For to keep this realm in Hells misery!”
With this saying he takes my hand
And I cry, “Lord save me from the beast and his land!”
The creature screeches and strikes me aside
As a bolt of white light shoots down through the sky
The serpent he falls and shakes with great fear
As Christ and his angels begin to draw near
A robe of clothed white-the only true king
His angels of truth do joyfully sing
A ring of bright glory circles his crown
While Jesus himself glides to the ground
In the sons eyes a light grows so pure
He says, “Lucifer, of her you'll not lure.
Your kingdom of wicked and ways of bad wild
Will not harm my innocent young child
For she has cried to me to be saved
And in Holy water she shall be bathed
For her there will be a fresh new life
And for you, black Satan, Hells own strife!”
With his Word appears a lake of fire
As the Holy child casts Satan into Death's empire
Banshi-type screams do reach my ears
While silent hope streams down-grateful tears
“Come my child we will leave this land.”
He turns to me and offers his hand
“Remember child do as I do, love everybody as I Love You!”
