Poem
Could you be the Trojan horse, To bypass the defences of my heart? Let harmless acts of kindness, run a course, Break all barriers, to the tiniest part For once there was, a fancy conqueror, With soldiers and horses, and tall banners, In the stomping ground, there was such tremor, She was fearful and bold, in all manners She battered my strong gates, scaled my wall, Rained upon me rocks, and fiery arrows, My good soldiers, one by one came to fall, There was much sorrow, on their death throes Woe be my army, vanquished and beaten, Torn apart in the blitz, of sudden attack, All of them stood, until thoroughly smitten, True warriors’ courage, they never did lack So alas for me, I did surrender, My forts and castle, and kingdom whole, Lest all that remains, be torn asunder, I gave her my all, from King to Fool She took it all, and claimed as her own, I played the Jester, upon her feet, Settled herself, on my sorry throne, Never did knew, my heart’s dead meat At first it was easy, to her bend my knees, For she was radiant, and beyond compare, My woeful sorrows, she banished with a kiss An empress divine, she was my lady fair It came to pass, she turned a bad leaf, Here acts were no more, of a fair sovereign, She became hard, and wearyingly stiff Upon us both settled, a palpable strain I never realized, she had her sights, To another domain, richer than mine, Her inflamed passion, ebbed to dim lights In her mind formed, a betrayer’s design Then she announced, in my once great hall, How she intends, to march once more, To another conquest, ripe for the fall, Greater things she said, lies for her in store She assembled once more, her great army, Mightier ever, than the one who came, Her ranks has swelled, strengthened by the bounty, Of my kingdom conquered, that she made tame The dust she stirred, with abrupt departure, Took the longest time, to finally settle, A bitter-sweet moment, my life’s great torture, But stand up I did, with my hard won mettle Before her I thought, I’m consigned to be alone, Live only for myself, without for others- care, Never imagined, to foolish love I’d be prone Now cruel melancholy, upon my face- stare
