Prince of Sweet Songs

PRINCE OF SWEET SONGS


"Prince of sweet songs made out of tears and fire......" ( A Ballad of  François Villon:Envoi-A.C. SWINBURNE)





The prince showed up in the terrace

Looked skyward a bird falling down a shooting star

The prince called his lyricist and a hangman

There are two contradictory elements, lyricist as opposed to a hangman. One is creator and other is destroyer. They will decide the fate of the bird. The king is a mere onlooker. Thank you very much for reading my poem. Love...rajat
