Regaining the Throne

Remember when we spoke
To each other in accents
Both divine and profane
A comedy of voices in mischief

Remember days spent in
Words and songs pouring
Over in their hurry to
Be spoken and heard at once

This land has taken so
Much from me made
Me harder, bolder but you
Do not command nor I obey

Remember whispered promises of
Lust gone cold and lacking
Unfulfilled desires are bitter
To the tongue and mind

There is fire still
As if a dragon hatched within
At time flames and at others
The breath of embers

Remember when there was
No such thing as quiet
Between us and we loved
With tongues and raw words

There is still so much
I want to say, want
To truly give but I never
Know if you will ever listen
