Best Dungeon Poems


The Dungeon

Within the dungeon’s darkest depths,
Prisoners lay dreaming,
Of families, and destinies,
And Devine redeeming.

Illusions fill their mortal eyes,
As the vision shapes them.
The dungeon is not what it seems,
And the truth escapes them.

They cannot see beyond their cage,
This place is all they know.
A deception of perception,
That claimed them long ago.

This dungeon has fulfilled their needs,
Fantasies belay them.
They are...

I showed you inner sanctum of my heart
where truth and fantasy together lie
My scented rhymes were lover's guide and chart
unlocked my treasures were to searching eye

I showed you every splendor tinged in gold
a place were luxury was redefined
your hands I filled with more than you could hold
with chords of silken dreams I wished to bind

I...

Dungeon Delve

Mounted on his noble steed,
   No taller than the tallest weed.

Prepared and ready for the plunge,
   Protected from any type of grunge.

Staring down a darkened cave,
   Deep inside him feeling brave.

Blood flowing straight to his head,
   Making it swell and turning it red.

He doesn’t know how long...

Beyond the Dungeon Door

O Catie love ye do ask too much of a poor scribbling poet to ask him to
open the doors so ye can view the terrible thing he knows himself to be.
All men and mayhap women too know what terrors hide behind our own locked 
doors. Yet still ye ask, so very well, I'll unbolt the...

We Starve

Like in a dungeon we live,
Full of dissatisfaction and high charges of stuff
With no sign of reduction but expansion
As if we were victims of famine
In a famished land.
The rainbows of intercession speak not,
And the markets, missing their right positions;
In our little wages we battle with the economy
But it seems it's overcoming us
Starve! Starve!! Starve!!!
We the...

Dungeon Dreams


~*~

" escape from the nightmares of yesterdays ... uphold the sublime ... SOAR ... FLY ! "


eyes were shut
head in bow
sitting in the rocking chair ...

DUSK - murky ... vague ... nestled with woe and a twilight dew
tears fell - as I sleep in my cradle's journey 
~~~my CRIB of dreams

now,
I open my eyes,
the eyes...

Premium Member Dragons, Dragonflies and Hufflewinks

While Skye danced free among daisies and daffodils, cloaked in mink
Unwary daydreams of a princess in exuberance singing and dawdling
Damsel snatched in two hufflewinks and one rinkydink tiddlywink

The wicked sorceress on her fiercest dragon, captured Skye in a wink
In her darkened heart, how long she had dastardly been conniving
While Skye danced free among daisies and...

Dungeon

My mind,
Slippery slope,
Once in, hard to get out,
It is an enigma, beware...
this maze!

Dungeon of Thoughts

Where am I? Where has my vision brought?
Am I in the boundless horizon?
Or prisoned in my thought?
Is there a way out of this dungeon? 

Countless are my profound accomplishments
From the pyramids to the modern skyscrapers and motorways
Faster than sound aeroplanes to rockets
Confined to material gain my endeavour stays

On the moral front, I have nothing to...

The Darkness In Her Dungeon

Darkness in Her Dungeon
 
 
 
 
 
No morning no bright sun
 
Just nuns all around
 
To recite bright light
 
For my freedom from
 
Fear and feeling off
 
 
 
 
But I would despise
 
In the outside those eyes
 
A black bundle in swirl
 
A hostile world looming
 
All conspiring to harm
 
 
I was hospitalized
 
Vacuum was deeper
 
Medicines and sessions
 
Friendly talk therapy
 
Seemed machinations
 
 
Always a captive in self -cell
 
Morose mind in the tea...

Dungeon of Dreams

Master and lord of his lands and his castle
He was graciously greeted wherever he`d travel
A man they thought they very well knew
But secrets he had more than just a few

His ordinary self blends in with others
A second look to take no one really bothers
But below the smiles secrets are hidden
His mind’s with a strange affliction...

A Dungeon

My mind is a slippery slope
Once in, it’s hard to get out,
Set in layers of intricate meshes
You’ll get entangled in my evil ways…
Beware, stay away!

In the Dungeon of My Mind

In the dungeon of my human mind
conflicting notions you will undoubtably find
unanswered questions of life unwind
destroying peace, conflict entwined

Offense, defense, perpendicular or parallel
Stagnant memories that linger and swell
Tragedies that have befell 
capsizing your internal be well

I offer my paradoxal thoughts to you O Lord 
This isn't the vision I want to hoard
Grant me the wisdom...

Premium Member Babel

Have we rebuilt the tower of Babel
With weary words of wireless babble?
Do somnolent thoughts surf synapses
On tidal waves of vacuous verbs?

So tasteless, as baseless, and faceless
Secret voices clamor, “I am here”
In clusters of blabbing barnacles
Encrusted, agape, to the Internet.

Watchers, spectators doing little,
Chasing minutia ever fresh.
Turned into products; privacy shed
In a passive world of dungeon dead.

Endlessly...
