Sonnet Sunday’s: The Fall of Axtona

  From the castle keep, Lord Dourka sits on his throne Pondering all the horrors that he has been shown His blue-gray bloodshot eyes locked in a morbid stare Contemplating the fight with the sinister pair The evil has entrenched itself within his brain The demon whores look forward to the blood they drain Dourka would not stand for their wicked corruption His poor subjects became their choice of consumption The once bountiful land, now a desolate field The time has come for him to have sword and shield Before the battle, he is unable to rest With his armor on, he forsakes his father’s crest Once again, the wicked ones try to make a deal However, this time Dourka vowed they’d taste his steel In the blink of an eye, they lunge with their right claw Without hesitation, he grabs one by its jaw Tossing one aside, he impales the other But before the side, he swears he can see his brother He tells himself that it’s impossible that he’s dead Upon revie...
