~ I WAS A KING ~
In the thick hours where time was a mist
Where light, retired, and new moons exist
Only to betray royal temperaments
That shape the things to come....
Through bloodlines and mixed lineage
I became the sequestered
The new randomness,
It was there I was ordained
Powerfully educated
With the sword, the shield,
With books from nether worlds,
With mitigated DNA
And mind-mingled,
With the true blue-blood
From other time periods....
I was tortured, then set free
Into the midst of men,
Where I swam upstream
And procreated as instructed
Through a code,
Implanted,
In what seemed mere moments
To enjoy a life
Freely given,
To learn of the womb
And the light in a breath,
To walk the face of the earth
As a completely free man,
To write my own songs
And to boldly sing,
That I held my own court
When,
I was a King...

Hello Tony,
What a wondrous narrative that portrays in my eyes and mind, the ever committed struggles of trying to remain true to oneself, whilst being born and forced into a role never chosen. There are some unique lines in this steadfast piece. Quite spiritual in parts.
“To learn of the womb
And the light in a breath”
Such lines force the readers own mind to reflect on the power of the birth of existence in this physical world
This is poetry at a high standard my friend. You have cultivated imagery beautifully. It is through your succulent phrasing that the truth in poetry shines. As much as this is a narrative piece. It is a soul searching journey conveyed with precision and exquisite penmanship
Thank you my good friend, for sharing this today
Your admiring poetic buddy
