The king

spilleronsheet

The fire pit

the dragons hovering in sky 

dark demons with fire blowing in sky

its night 

but their violent screams make it dawn 

a castle below in lawn

 

 

the Warrior all enamoured

holds a sword

the sword issued from God 

must yield 

must wield

bear the duty 

of holding the crown

 

 

since childhood 

it was predestined to be 

a dream sprouted inside

but to bear the burden of society

it let it be

 

 

hidden are the  desires 

flaring up at nights

in the day

the knight cannot laze beside

what pen 

what sword

don’t have random thoughts

strict were the rules

strict were the lessons 

 

 

no soul understood

all they saw was a golden spoon

neither he could tell 

nor did anyone wish to listen 

roses maybe roses

bed be made of them too

but with those you have thorns 

to stab and scathe you….

 

 

burning was his desires

in the altar of duties everyday 

living diligent and on their whims everyday 

they still put on blame

the aristocracy debated everyday 

In disguise of advices they scolded him everyday 

 

tired was the knight under the violent sky 

fighting the demons hovering in sky 

pleasing the nobles and aristocracies every time 

loosing his health 

loosing sleep

and loosing peace inside

 

 

what was the solution the knight asked?

while looking up at the blazing sky?

the universe maybe listening to him 

the time traveller might be passing 

the angels may have heard his cry 

 

so as to solution 

there was 

simple o sound 

but difficult to arouse around 

duties you live 

why should you abandon your dreams? 

become too powerful 

so as to stop living  on others please 

shut the aristocracy 

write your dreams 

rule the kingdom with peace

tell them the stories as you weave 

 

 

don’t deny the heart beating inside 

let it be rhythmic and powerful everyday beside….
