The tainted brown and bloody earth,
Soaked as such in red rebirth;
Casts a crimson and threatening tide
Outward and over your pool of pride.
Death and destruction this region rule,
While demons defile and are constantly cruel.
Now, pain and affliction are my only fuel.
I took the long life of my rival;
I slowly slit the throat of his survival.
He wriggled and writhed beneath the blade,
But he had to submit so the pain would fade.
Now his heart is still and spent;
His soul and spirit free from torment;
Now, insanity drives me in my lament.

This has good flow and rhymes well. I am not entirely certain what this is about except that the character of the poem kills a rival. Killing seems to be a desire and yet there seems regret at the end.
