Drakkon's Poisoned Poetry! Ballads and other forms here!

[Drakkon]

Hello, and welcome to the land of my poetry, which has the term of 'dokushi', or poisoned poetry, tagged on because of its intense nature...


Here are three samples...

Shattered Dreams (Shakespearean Sonnet)

As cruel ice forms a solemn prison

A seal forms around my desires

That foul insect is now dead and gone

Hopes and dreams burn in a brutal fire



With dull eyes and petty flesh, I persist

No one knows the pain I suffer within

All those opportunities I have missed

No matter what I do, I never win



Chains of desire dig into my bones

But I am dull to their soft, tender touch

My dried-out mouth emitting shattered groans

In the depths of my soul, despair does clutch



There are no hopes and dreams left for me here

Only the bitter tang of long-lost tears
--------------------------------

Touch of Monochrome (Ballad)


In shadows of a dream

Temptation’s fingers beckon me

Blotting out the day’s light

Conjuring up dark ecstasy



Please, wrap me in your lust

Fill me with a monochrome shade

My reluctance shatters

As we dance this promenade



But with pleasure comes pain

A seductive gaze hides the truth

I twist with pain and shock

While you siphon away my youth



What have you done to me?

I drown in my monochrome tears

How could you betray me?

Your words were poison to my ears



Please, don’t take me away

Just color me with lips pitch-black

I am not yours quite yet

Do not end this with my soul cracked



I understand my fate

I have no more regrets tonight

I understand my faults

I will follow into the light…
------------------------------------

Shi no Niji (Ballad)

As a brilliant crimson seeps through

My heart beats in sorrow

Our souls will never separate

As they cry for ‘morrow



Long-lost ecstasy fills the air

A rose’s aroma

Filling the air will toxic glee

Painting many chromas



Our rainbow’s spectrum shines so bright

Sparkling in your eyes

But soon its vibrance turns to black

Etching out your demise



Your brilliant carmine flows on through

The gash his scythe doth etch

With your scream, all colors are lost

Burning red as you retch



The death throes of our love doth shine

Eternity stands still

Nothing can slay this great rainbow

It is too pure to kill

[Doubled]

I like them all Drak, but I do like Touch of Monochrome the best. I don't know why, with all of them I can see something, but that one seems to paint a picture. Well, good luck with the rest buddy

 

[Drakkon]

Thanks! ;D

Now for another Trio

Requiem of the Shattered Will (Ballad)


A sudden sound ignites

And your innocence is now mine

Now driven deep within

Constricted by its sonic vines



A childhood now lost

Dulled-out eyes cry a single tear

But that is soon erased

Your mind now free of doubt and fear



They fit you with new clothes

And send you into bitter war

You can never refuse

'Cause your mind is no longer yours



As you murder for them

Blood returns your long-shattered will

You are ours no longer

But you feel an empty chill



You must perish this night

While you still have your liberty

You pick up your weapon

And slay your disability

--------------------------------

Earth Vs Sky (Ballad)


A rumble rises from within

As our earth goes to war

Sharp, stony fists rise in revolt

Piercing right through the core



But then the wind returns in kind

Winged doom in descent

Raging with a tempest’s bellow

Until its foe is spent



But with bloodied and shattered knuckles

The earth resounds with pain

Rending the red skies asunder

Bringing down bitter rains



But one assault is not the end

And the skies turn to gloom

They smother all of us in smog

But in blindness comes doom



Bloody feathers fall to the ground

Embraced by the master

We witnessed this in shock and awe

Our minds lacking plaster
-----------------------------------------------
The Shadowy Gaze (Ballad)


Gaze of malice and hate

A solemn face shrouding your scars

Your sorrow trapped within

Your soul-shattering prison bars



Space and time flows on past

The silent mobs that pass you by

Never really know that

Shattered dreams are the tears you cry



A final reckoning

Your wicked wings of doom doth spread

Looking deep in your soul

I see only horror and dread



Yet I am not afraid

Not of my death, not of the end

Life can always survive

And through the course of time, it mends...



So do your worst, my friend

For 'the end', I shall not endure

As it begins anew

A age of gold, so bright and pure

Since I am back, here are two of my newer pieces of poetry.

Dissonance


Discord...
Ripping at my ears
Chaos's chorus
With meaningless octaves
Devoid of reason and rhyme

Silence...
Is but a myth
In this sonic entropy
Pounding in my head
Restless and uneasy

Calling...
My screams go unheard
In the midst of all these voices
I can bear no more...

SHUT UP!
I can't take this anymore
Your wretched, jagged tongues
Leave nothing but a empty void
Slowly dripping with remnants
Of my disrupted thoughts

Dramatic Tragedy

Love to hate
Joy to sorrow
The truth to lies
The past to ‘morrow



Order to chaos
Courage to dread
Kindness to cruelty
Blue to red



Power to weakness
Health to disease
Peace to war
Standing tall to begging on your knees



Day to night
White to black
As it is not about what you have
But more what you lack


Hope you enjoy!

[Dark Soul]

...Well, great. Now I'm just jealous. ;;

Great as ever, Drakkon. You really manage to bring the mood up or down to where you want it to be and your poetic vocabulary is pretty dang amazing. I do like your rhyming style, too. I've never quite been able to shape it like that.

Keep the good stuff coming ^^

 

[Drakkon]

Thanks, Jesper-kun! I am glad you appreciate it...

Here is another piece done in a similar fashion to Dramatic Tragedy...

Fickle Love

Kind and wicked

Simple and obscure

Logical and emotional

Corrupt yet so pure



Present and absent

Invisible and seen

Frowning as it grins

Draped in a golden sheen



One day it is as strong as stone

The next it shatters like glass

No single feeling is constant

And each of its moods shall always pass



So enjoy what you have today

And never rely on tomorrow

For what is around the corner

Promises both joy and sorrow
