It causes me to see and in sight, Heal - in a way

The Kings and Queens  
announce their presence  
chasing away the days heat,  
colossal sandstone thrones  
tower over vast grass lands  
sparse with weathered trees,  
stretched out in darkening shades  
of light straw to stained beige.  

As the bright red brush stroke  
washes onto the horizon,  
returning birds give voice  
to the cooler air of nightfall.  
Ripe fruit and folded leaves  
pull on warm silhouette's  
while the sky hangs  
from their branches, dressed  
in fading gold ribbons.  
 
The night is clearing its throat,  
practicing lines that will reach  
beyond the curvature of the earth  
I follow the usherettes torch  
and take my seat beneath a billion stars,  
ready to watch the second performance.

These toxic emotions burn through every vein.

Hurt and depression such a familiar pain.

We barely survived left with little of our sanity.

Our beating lust hangs us with thread desperation attached to calamity.

Doomed from the start questioning if love felt was here.

So I peer in hearts past as stains turn to rust and all faith turns to fear.

This emotional prison took me to depths of despair.

I starved for honest loyalty but the heartfelt left me bare.

These tears that are shed are for the bonds that we hold.

What we had I know now was lust because of the resentment that we mold.

I know where there is love resentment can not live.

All those years of playing pretend we just tried to take and never to give.

Communication is everything no matter how sinister the truth.

And each lie that we told has taken years off our youth.

If we want freedom from this labyrinth because its deception is so vast.

You must conquer it with compassion and forgiveness from all the demons of the past.

It's much harder than it sounds for most it takes many lifetimes to complete this feat.

Until they love unconditionally they will find each lifetime burdened with pain anger and deceit.

So listen to me closely and ill give you life's hardest secret to bliss and perfection.

Its love, forgiveness, and compassion the first and final steps in the right direction.

 

 

 Ultimate, the visions that a leader lends
always to give not take away
the heavy crown, its reach extends
a coronation just to radiate

Soft the fall of honeyed rain
calm exercise of black and white
to bring the good from all profane
to calm the tempest, kill the blight

A heart carved with a trusty sword
foresight with the hammers fall
kind granite that cant be deterred
soft touch that has the wherewithal

The throne that holds a great regard
the way to catch the lightning ball
to capture hearts like flighted birds
to heed the crowd if they implore

A sage like soft melodies in echoed halls
composed to fit upon the stool
for kingdom however large or small
to feed when there was nowt but gruel

In waves of sound that carry with it mixed emotions
Taking you on a journey floating on waves that travel afar
Now is not the time for disputes quarreling over uncertain matters
There needs to be a pattern culminating in change for the better
In striving for tomorrow far different from yesterday
To be able to live in sustainable harmony today
Carrying the expansiveness of thought unmasked with pretense
Never attempting to manipulate the truth with alternative facts
But making an opportunity to perform
A place that is of service to inform
Now in the pursuit of liberty
There needs to be a life of dignity
In humans we find both villains and heroes
Those that we want to destroy and others leave in hallowed stature
Honouring by commissioning statues
Only time will tell as power struggles bring new leaders into position
Who will be at the receiving end of the love and hatred
From those followers chanting and screaming their names
