Kings And Queens

Confined by yellow which tombs

My mind, my sense, but mostly

Our passion. 

I could lift to a world of high blue

And clouded fancy, but then

Truth would sink beneath 

The ethereal and untouchable.

There I would blaze 

In some inherent, persistent

Anti-glory. 

As burned a mark as

The spell you’ve left on me.

My signet dawn will clash 

With your well-versed nightly

Fantasies. We cannot touch but

As positive as the seasons

The spirit will stay the same.

True to speak that I could waste

A life in the far-off heavens.

Contemplating with drum to chest.

True enough we may clash

Or come together in choked heat.

Or on the wave of sugared ground.

But this, itself

Is stuff of quests and legends, kings 

And queens. You are not the first

Who has been out of reach. But

You are the first I have truly known.

By this, I bequeath to the world

Our kingdom, and long live.

I'd have to say that I comprehend this more than completely...
As soon as I started reading I knew where I fit-- like a little headache between the lines; within-- this poem caught my heart.
I cannot touch your raised glass through this riddled screen, but I touch my mind to yours when I say "thank you", and "Long live The Kingdom".

Good style you have going here

Loved the wordplay you have going on here, for some reason the line "Contemplating with drum to chest" sticks out to me.

Well-Penned and a sweet poem!

[Lizzie_Madrid]

WOW! You are great at what you do! I could never do anything like this!

[~goh~]

Well penned :D
I love it!

[Joe Shetina]

I enjoy your style. A strange relationship, but it's explained very well.

i love this poem. it approaches love in a way that is not exactly platonic, but definitely not lustful, either. the metaphor you use is interesting because of the romanticism in the subject of the metaphor, and not only in the narrator's feelings for his/her love. absolutely wonderful!

It is poems like this when I think that being able to understand what was going on through the author's mind when it was written would give one the key to the universe.

An interesting love poem on several different levels. But are the quests and legends worth it in the end? Or is longing all we will ever have?
