The Poetry King

A bow to The Poetry King,
who thinks he doesn'tĀ 
mean a thingĀ 
in the grand scheme.

Wears his heartĀ 
on stained sleeve,
makes paupers feel
like royalty.

Waxes poetic aboutĀ 
life, love, and history
that would otherwise remainĀ 
unsolved mysteries.

More than just a dream,
The Poetry King
lives eternally,
in you and me.Ā

The Void

Hey there lonely girl,

what are you doing wandering around

these dark places?

Donā€™t you know thatĀ 

evil lurks about?Ā 

The void is littered

with those who will use you,

abuse you,

scar your soul for eternity.Ā 

Listen to my pleas,

Iā€™m begging on bended knees,

move forward

towards the light,

no matter how tempting

the mysterious

shadows may be.Ā 

Ā
