Dethroning the dog kingA Poem by isiah_holmesThe king dog's collar crown Has fallen off today He grew tired of these rusted wires, digging into his flesh It itches, festered wound laying open in the sun His son sleep's shamed His name, his name, lost in the pouring rain He searched in the hidden forest Searching for a place to rest His face, it look's so tired His fang's crack, in fact they rot away As he hides away from the day His collar crown, he chewed it off today It dropped gracefully to the ground, its golden beads The cold, cruel gold The pale face, masked with yellow fang's It fell from the Dog King's neck, not at all to his regret He is now free, free of the pressures Free of the aches of his life, his servants They crawl about, throughout his castle The room's are all crowded, music filling dry air There is a breeze kissing his face There are scar's welded into his lover's flesh There is a cost, something the King dog sacrificed His power, influence, his becon he surrendered Hi crown fell from his frail neck today His bombs cracked, his fur festering with lice Dont allow the kind king dog to be forgotten Return his crown to him He shall not ware it He will hide it away in his pocket The echo's of sin's past digging at his rough paw's Each time he hold's his crown treasure © 2013 isiah_holmes |
