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".

Oh wow! This is absolutely fantastic! There's a mystic, beautiful sense to it- yet I feel like a lot of power is behind it! Great write!

[Steph K]

I agree with roy, this is mystical. It has a lulling effect sort of drifting the reader into the piece, wanting more. My favourite line" Our kingdom, and long live" beautiful.
