King Of Silence

He is silence, 
crowned in rosy rhymes, 
sprinkling balmy rain 
upon frail flowers. 
misunderstood, yet 
beneath his armor, 
is the selfless moon, 
bestowing starlight.
when darkness unfolds, 
time may be cruel, 
but seasons can't wilt 
soft-spoken sagas, 
echoing amidst 
hushed sanctuaries. 
he shoulders the weight 
of a true savior.
suppressing his need 
to be heard and seen, 
in a world so dark 
and misleading, 
he remains throned to 
an emerald 
garden, that glows 
as the king of 
picturesque patience.
painting the wrongs right 
through butterfly strokes, 
of everlasting 
acrylics, in gold
across mourning skies.

Sotto Poet Date: 12/8/2023 10:06:00 AM Although anacreontic verse can be challenging to achieve in terms of flow, this particular piece is excellent. Such sweetness...
