<i>Kings And Queens</i>

Kings And Queens

A Poem by Alskar

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".

Another good poem, though I must admit I didn't enjoy this one quite as much as the last one I read. I like the fantasy-medieval theme that runs through the symbolism of this one blending emotion and surrealism into one strange yet somehow attractive... thingy. Yeah, I'll go with thingy. Anyway, I must say, you have quite a knack for writing layered poetry that is open to vast interpretation and can mean different things to different people without being vague. Another good piece. Keep writin'.

I love it. I do. I am not just saying that. In fact it is really hard for me to completely indulge in a poem. This does it. Very effectively. From the subject to the words used to convey the thought. It kept my attention, if for no other reason than I was not quite sure where it was going at first. It was an amazing adventure though. Traversing this descriptive and detailed journey.

Truly so much I like about it I can not pick any one part. I think that it priceless. A very good write and I can not wait to read more of your work.

This was very impressive. It seemed very abstract to me, and I usually read poems more concrete than that. But it was full of emotion, passion and it was very well written. I enjoyed reading it. Every line was written beautifully and each was was unique in their own way. I'm glad I read this poem!

"As burned a mark as
The spell you’ve left on me."

Fine write, with well-structured phrases like "a world of high blue and clouded fancy."
