Theme: Antagonists

These poems are character sketches of my antagonist across my stories.

Character: Asherah

Type: Sestina

Title: Mother of Carnage

Ancient semitic bride rested in vengeance

Her frame in deist slumber incased in gold

Her meaning and life the host of divine tree

Some forgot her, some remember her, but to all she is great mother

Her face a touch of beauty and a touch of exposed skull

In her countenance you will find war and fertility

Fate brings daughter of forge to the mother of fertility

Emergence of Tameria is the focus  of motherly vengeance

Years of forced sleep unleash tyrant seen as great mother

Asherah’s face having seen glory beyond sight leaves beauty and skull

Exposed for all to see underneath flesh is skeleton of gold

She never sought to flee but on others land she plants her tree

Oh ancient conquer, awaken continuing to grow her tree

No longer carved into a pole of hope for fertility

But a vow to turn human heads into carvings on a skull

The darkness in her eye is void in gold

A haunting spectral spouse sunken in vengeance

Desiring to end life, not begin, no longer a mother

Crown of haunting hands leaves a son without a mother

Broken tears, broken fears but no broken branches on her tree

Because epicurean frame in lust maker her gold

A conductor to her deep plated vengeance

Once a womb of life now ire of fertility

Beauty once found in worship finds rage in skull

Her unit of conquest etched on skull

Fought with many no longer seen as mother

But an eon of vengeance

Strips the human race of moral fertility

She seeks to turn concrete monuments to tree

Realizing humans servitude is the true gold

Yet the danger of being layered in gold

Is the malleable material is lathered on skull

Giving a Becoming god of innovation fertility

Sprouting leaves and branches of the technology tree

Making the tyrant realize the child has out grown the mother

Leaving the legend in an ash of vengeance

Vengeance kill fertility

Gold molded to the skull

Uproots the Tree Mother

Character: Thoth

Type: Pantoum

Title: God of Grief

Math, medicine magic are no match for malice

Moon crown cant protect from fear

God of hidden knowledge towards humans, callus

Rival orange eyes seek to clear

Moon crown cant protect from fear

Conquering reptilian black

Rival orange eyes seek to clear

Leaving a rageful feedback

Conquering reptilian black

Reminding gods mortality is a conscious plague

Leaving a rageful feedback

 Being repaid for justice that has always been vague

Reminding gods mortality is a conscious plague

God of hidden knowledge towards humans callus

Being repaid for justice that has always been vague

Math, medicine magic are no match for malice

Character: Daxeus Canaseen

Type: Villanelle

Title: Hunter of Enlightenment

River of obsession found in mandate

He fights to find the oath breaker

Seeking punish the one escaping imperial cognate

To him divine and duty equate

Turning the sandman into the grim reaper

River of obsession found in mandate

Imperial crown his only agnate

Leaving understanding a broken timekeeper

Seeking to punish anyone escaping imperial cognate

Daxeus Canassen, military magistrate

Only knows rules and laws no patience for a seeker

River of obsession found in mandate

Obsessed hunt for holy man leaves him desolate

Yet, instead of let it go he becomes a reaper

Seeking to punish everyone breaking imperial cognate

The journey for Asurmaan-Ra to emanate

Leaves man and rival a weeper

River of obsession found in mandate

Seeking to punish everyone escaping imperial cognate
