Same Time Blind King.

A study of my thoughts about the Tudors.

Sense lays heavy with rounded hooks on one’s mind,

A kiss once daring now lost to a king of church,

Makers now drift past peasants that know no better,

Easy to take steps to death away from his perch.

 

Taking prayers in darkened rooms might give impression,

Intimate meetings discovered but never given light,

Mighty words from w****s that seek to please cause,

Empires marked fiercely with Henry's sheer bite.

 

Better walks I've had for now they want me bound,

Letters written fall into the heat of open fires,

In each of us are friends that will turn our backs,

No thoughts, I search for wet wood,

Die they scream and chant more men to the racks.

 

Kind fellows never found against cowards of jewels,

Inspections are rarity never sought for those needing,

Never lay down with men that fear the ample breast,

Gone on the block, I say, Same Time Blind King.

Author's Note

Honesty my darlings, honesty!

What little knowledge I had of the Tudors was a long time ago, and not something I remember much of. As usual your use of the English language is is beyond mine, and your hidden messages too tangled for this old brain. Wish I had half of your intelligence, Thomas.

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

you are far to modest, I've read your work and mine doesn't even compare, thank you my darling.

Hmmm, this was interesting.. i like it. the imagery is magnificient. =)
Wonderful write!

[L. Edward Neale]

Timeless kind of metaphorical bridge between medieval imagery and modern life. "I search for wet wood" some clever erotic innuendo there perhaps? Either way, its evocative imagery.

They were heedless willful people in heedless willful tmes...

The Hierachy of the Tudor dynasty is fascinating. You have captured a very powerful imagery...
