Ian Be Poet Free verse

I Have Eaten Kings and Bishops

I have eaten kings and bishops
washed them down with blackened waves

I have knelt among the vines of passion
found them twined with crawling thorns

I have held the rain inside my feet
walking slow with tender grace

I have embraced friends and strangers
knowing them as unacknowledged kin

I have spoken to the mountains
felt their laughter in my heart

I have whistled with the songbird
shining humble as the dawn

I have swallowed timeless oceans
flowing swiftly in the flood

I have journeyed to the sunset
and found myself as everyone

Poet Destroyer A March 23, 2016 at 4:25 AM Really, this is the best poem I've read today... I like what's on your dinner plate...Linda Ian Be March 23, 2016 at 7:21 PM thanks, Linda. this probably spoils the mysterious nature of the poem, but those first two lines were inspired by milano chessmen cookies and a hot cup of coffee. here's wishing you a happy wednesday!
