Kash Poet Poet Pantoum

A Royal Love Affair

I am the Suicide King
known as King of Hearts,
she is sure the Queen
Queen of dark underworld.

Known as King of Hearts
not real but only fake,
Queen of dark underworld
she is busy with the trick.

Not real but only fake
so hiding me under her dress,
she is busy with the trick
keeping me close to her breast.

So hiding me under her dress
patiently waiting for a chance,
keeping me close to her breast
with her cautious glance.

Patiently waiting for a chance
to put me on the board,
with her cautious glance
edge-walking on a sword.

To put me on the board
she fakes a smile on her face,
edge-walking on a sword
I am out of her dress.

She fakes a smile on her face
a face I am in love,
I am out of her dress
she is my underworld dove.

A face I am in love
she is sure the Queen,
she is my underworld dove
I am the Suicide King.
