That Sweet Taste Upon My Lips

by Melpomene   Aug 4, 2008


Cacodemonic I am
Lips tainted of glory
Declining;
Dracula once fell,
into limbs of invite.

Venturing from darkness
was his weakness, for
the scent of blood in her
eyes.
Illuminated
misconception
staked thine heart.

Cacodemonic I am,
The Queen of bats.
Blood upon these hands
create a scent of desperation.
Glory to my taste buds
I abstracted Dracula from
his throne.

A modern lamia;
Seducing Dracula to death.

    "Cacodemonic I am"

    I had to look that word up, but I like the way you used it, this definetly is excellent vocabulary...

    "Lips tainted of glory
    Declining;
    Dracula once fell,
    into limbs of invite."

    What powerful and dark words, your poems are so entrancing..

    "Venturing from darkness
    was his weakness, for
    the scent of blood in her
    eyes."

    Good descriptions and imagery, this really gives me visuals, nicely done.

    "Illuminated
    misconception
    staked thine heart."

    I love how you say "thine heart". Flawless wording, wowie!

    "Cacodemonic I am,
    The Queen of bats.
    Blood upon these hands
    create a scent of desperation.
    Glory to my taste buds
    I abstracted Dracula from
    his throne."

    Great story-line here, and nice usage of words...

    Overall, 5/5 from me, reading your poems is like taking a journey, wonderful work! Keep writing, always and forever......

    "Cacodemonic I am"
    `I must really be stupid or something. I don't know what this word means loll. Unless I just don't recognize the spelling. Maybe a word bank would be helpful. I know some people do that at the bottom of the poem, it's something nice to refer to when you use big words.

    Format; I noticed the format was a little weird, but I like it. It's a unique style (:

    Overall, a really deep dark poem. I don't usually like to read these kinds of poems, but from reading a few and seeing what they are like.. I think you did a very great job portraying that really dark dark mood. Excellent, 5/5. (:

    This poem to me was definely not simplistic in its contents and depth yet it drew vivid images into my mind of vampires, their
    hungers and evilness. I must admit I did use a dictionary and encyclopedia to decipher some of your vocabulary not being a great lover of untruths (Vampires etc.) Lamia/Cacodemonic, very clever though not neccessary. I was a bit confused as to how a child killing vampiress can seduce supposedly the first of their kind and kill him? Yes I know the poem is once more one of your metamorphic efforts? 4/5 Ray
