Once I was a mighty king who owned it all,An empress and vast kingdomBut all great empires eventually fall. I still sit upon my lonely throne,The only thing that remained,After all else left with a great groan. There I sit saddened at my own loss,The loss borne by me,Its creator, its once cocksure boss. When one once built a grand life easily,The struggle before is forgotten,The grace and grandeur blind completely.You for...

 A hungry lion can end a life quickly,  A little snake venom can render a man permanently sickly. Pretty roses too can prickle and make a person bleed, But of all these dangers it’s a childish heart you should most heed.   A childish heart wanders wildly going wherever it pleases, Its reckless antics endure pain, but its wandering never ceases. It walks on rocky ground, over broken glass and wildfire, It thinks those are...

I'm feasting at this the table of life,No knife no fork just a blunt knife.My plate is filled and I can't get through fast enough,I'm filled but the waiter willing adds more stuff.There heaps of lovely meat burnt, black and bitter,There's vegetables too: all trying to turn me into a quitter.I eat as fast as I can but more obstacles appear,My plate seems to never get clear.I look around hoping for a fork or even a spoon,Th...

When I made you look I couldn't think about your pain,But now that its my turn I can hardly bear the strain.I feel our chemistry but it was born too late,A few weeks earlier I had let her in the gate.Now that she's gone and I'm free again,I see him around and know I'm hoping in vain.I see how wrong I was for thinking you'd wait,And I feel the pain for being too late.I keep wondering if I'll ever get your attention again,O...

I never meant to do the things I did,But love made me do them.The words I said were not by my choice,Love made me say them. I never meant to say I quit,But love made me surrender,Taking that terrible hit. I never meant to smile as I walked away,But love made me do it,Saying he’d only hurt you if I stay. I never wanted to make you cry,Love made me do it,Saying it was better than living in a truthful lie. Love made me force...

You and I had a grand house, Crafted from our dreams. It had everything we wanted, But it kept bursting at the seams. I mended and patched until my hands bled, Yet I smiled and told you 'we're ok it's not dead'. One by one you removed all the bricks, Until we lived in a shack made of broken sticks. I wondered to myself why would you do this? Why destroy something that once filled us with bliss? Have you built another, way...

I pride myself on being a contented guy, But I can’t help looking at this tree with jealousy in my eye. He has a heart yet he has not a single feeling, If I were like him then I’d not have known this feeling like my heart needs healing. He’s been standing and dancing around storms, naked since his birth. While I’ve been sneezing and shivering though I wear a shirt. He needs no trimming or shaving to stand tall, While I tr...

Before we begin this interview I must ask, Do you promise to answer truthfully and not view it as a huge task? Despite your earlier answer we must begin, And remember, you won’t be hated whether I lose or win. Would you believe it if I said I was stuck on you? Would you doubt or reject my feelings saying they aren’t true? Would you ever tell me if there was some way, For me to show you that my feelings for you are here to...

I despise all the fools in this world, And if I become a king into a dungeon I’d have them hurled. There are fools of all shapes and kinds, But they all have a negative effect on our minds. There are fools that rob and steal, Without thinking about how they make others feel. Then there are those who rape and kill, Without considering the innocent blood they spill. However, the worst fools of all, Are the ones who make per...

To find that one, the one you can truly love, Is a gift that comes from heaven above. It’s a feeling actions can’t keep hidden And some pray to from it be ridden. It makes you stop considering looks, And you judge persons as DVDs not as books. You constantly wonder if they’re okay, And well wishes for them in your mind always stay. You need to hear that they have a perpetual smile, And if they don’t, to fix it, you’d run...

It happened again, I fell in love. I thought it was real, Just as she made me feel. It happened again, I went all out. I ended up hurt, With my heart bleeding through my shirt. It happened again, She gave me a smile. I felt like a king. I'm such a gullible thing. It happened again, I'm sitting here crying. A whisky bottle beside me, As I drink to be free. It happened again, This time i'm ready. I see a smile to my right,...

I see you on his arm, You’re perfect and I’m jealous. I need you, I want you, He must come to some harm. I caught him alone, In a dark alley. One shot did it, He didn’t even moan. A little wooing and you’re mine, I can’t get enough of you. My life is finally perfect, You’re my angel, my favorite wine. Two months later you’re my bane, You nag and won’t shut up, You can’t cook, can’t clean, Spend tons to look like a queen....

I stopped eating when you cook, And complimenting your look. I say things that make you cry, And you say you don't know why. You say I'm hateful, And always ungrateful, You think I don't know, What happens when I go. You think he's a secret, one that is well kept, So you think I don't know that with him you have slept. I know more than I say; I know more than I see, I know that the food and looks isn't for me. You have fr...

You have a guy, one who lies to you, If I were him, that's something I'd never do. He cheats and flirts without any regard, I don't think putting you first should be that hard. You hate his broken promises, His ignorant ways, And the fact that with your heart he selfishly plays. I'll hold you up high, keep you happy always, And ensure that a smile on your face always stays. He keeps you locked up, while he runs free, Whil...

Edward Constantine loved his wife deeply; the only thing that eclipsed his love for her was his desire to have a child. When the time finally came for him to get that which he desired the most, he would not have it snatched by that nasty thing called the plague. The moment he saw the signs, he wasted no time fetching his 7-month pregnant wife to the village shaman, a man well known for his ‘dark dealings’. He entered the...
