Farragos of illusion by artistic depression

Frolicsome creatures upon grassy meadows
Creepish forlorn dead trees that bellows
Beyond the threshold and yonder the glen
Lies Elysian mysteries of time knows when

The illusive breeze of that bloodless May
Of raining twigs and prickling spray
Scars beneath my naked toes
To where I am, nobody knows

Blanched gore as Crimson wine
Underneath dampen gallows we dine
Clamoring rancid silver spoons
Of rampant riches that fade too soon

Nightmarish fantasies of dis figuration
Define me visions of my damnation
Hallucinations dived in melodies
Oh the dread that screams my symphonies

Juvenile harlequins and freakish jesters
Wicked suitors nor erotic splendors
Trappings of this carnal doom
Beneath scorched iron and dungeons gloom

Abyssal pits breathe hopeless cries
They pray for my own souls demise
Lessons that were never learned
Do you see me now? Do you see me burn?

Thundering fears, the deafening silence
Demented tortures, the emerging defiance
Chained amidst the beseeching light
Eternal absence at the dead of night

Ashes breath of fogs that loom
A forsaken bride, the remorseless groom
Denied to her twas one last chance
To take his groom for one last dance

Farragoes of my vast illusions
Memories confused far more delusions
If only I had learned to die
I wouldn't have taught myself to cry...

This is extremely impressive. Its as if you juiced the intensity out of so many feelings and put it all together in one poem. It brings deep thoughts.

Thank you so much... :)

This is excellent and beautiful. The ending was very strong. I find this style of writing to be difficult to pull off, but you write it flawlessly.

[Fréyjä Helvití]

Thank you... I admit, it really isn't that easy for me to pull off something like this... I had to be in a sort of state of intense emotions for the words to flow well... And the strongest of these emotions are sorrow and despair...

every word lingered
..just a little thought on the 6th stanza
the word souls may become "soul's "
same with twas to 'twas

[Laura Maidah]

Just beautiful. I actually had to look up "farragoes". Pretty obscure word. Thanks for teaching it to me.

[Fréyjä Helvití]

your welcome. and thank you for the review... :)

wow, the meter and rhyme count are flawless, gorgeous are the words, powerful are the emotions, excellent work.

[Fréyjä Helvití]

Thank you so much... :)

[Michael X]

wow, a tribute to all that is sadness, ode to everlasting melancholy moment,
where the sun is black and the trees are dead, and memories are illusion,
excellent job, I like this a lot

[Fréyjä Helvití]

Thank you... much appreciated... :)

[Serenity Faith]

Simply wicked. It reads like a sad ballad, my favorite type of poetry. It is often the most beautiful things in life come from a mad sadness.

[Fréyjä Helvití]

That's because sadness could be one of the most strongest of emotions... thank you... :)
