Blood and guts I slash with blades of cruel death
Nor do I comfort souls last dying breath
Smoke filled eyes seek shelter from flames of fume
Dead bodies unwept, more souls I consume
I am Dante, I dare you trifle much
I'll flog your soul untill you scream and such
Dare you pray to god, who died ages gone?
I speak truth, dear ones, to me souls belong
Nay! 'twill naught be as thus and so, my love
For lust does burn a bed of coals thereof
Seeking quests desire from parched mortal man
Shall I kiss your cheek, offer demon's hand?
"Tis naught to be, Blisters seeking bed's flame
Be neither my fault, 'tis the gods to blame

This is a wonderful contemporary sonnet. The old language gives it flavor and depth. You have done a great job penning it in decasyllable and creating a great meter.
