I Can See the Kingdom

Tristan Robert Lange


Notice of absence from Tristan Robert Lange
I am lagging slightly in my responses to comments on my poems due to a crazy schedule. I will be catching up on them soon. I have read them all and will find the time to respond, but did not want you to think I was ghosting. In the meantime, and always:

Read, Write, Rise, Realize.

Tristan 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
So you think you know me?  
The wildfire ablaze  
Needs immediate action.  
 
But I can see the Kingdom.  
You strip me down naked  
You lacerate my truth.  
But I can see the Kingdom.  
 
You pull out the lasher  
You intend to intimidate.  
But I can see the Kingdom.  
 
Human death sticks stare  
At me with judgment.  
But I can see the Kingdom.  
 
They think they can see  
Eternal truths on paper.  
But I can see the Kingdom.  
 
They sentence me to hell,  
To the lurid shores of refuse  
Housing its scornful base,  
But I can see the Kingdom.  
 
Help me! Save me  
With your transient care.  
Because I can see the Kingdom.  
 
Show me your best,  
Wall me in stone torment,  
But I can see the Kingdom.  
 
Stain my name  
And play the game  
You're never going to tame,  
Because I can see the Kingdom.
