The Lonesome KingA Poem by Calvin Warden II
The minstrel plays his best tunes
And the jester tells his best jokes Still the king does not smile. The knights protect the land And the peasants toil in field Still the king was pondering. The wizards performed his magic And the alchemist mixes a potion Still the king doesn't notice. The rogue is plundering the treasure And the bar room is a total brawl Still the king remains unaware. The guilds men practice their craft And the merchants sell their wares Still the king always feels alone. The kingdom has lasting peace And all within praise his rule Still the king searches for queen. The passage of time marches on And yet my heart remains pure Still the king... Still I sit alone. © 2018 Calvin Warden II |
