Jude Herrick Poet Rhyme

Rogue Manchurian Monarch

             Street light blinks in timing, 
winking at the seeker kind.
I am an outlander from another place another time.
Everyday signs, give arcane message, 
a decrypted and privileged- 
visage-bestowing-vestige.
The wind flirts in it's honor with his hair, 
his cheeks rubbed like a genie's lamp 
to summon magic there.

Life's golden one lit up by invisible stage light.
Magical beings to and from take their flight.
The crowning it will happen, 
"I feel it in the air tonight."
I am the chosen one, sent to yet a new realm to en-kingdom.
Archons looking on to see his progress, 
Watchers to record and by-stand and slip again between dimensional recess.
Mothership hovers to rendezvous with his highness.

Silent One December 17, 2023 at 4:51 AM I like the galactic nature of this poem.. You always write poems that make me think and that is a great asset in poetry Jude.. Jude Herrick December 17, 2023 at 5:43 AM Thank you, Silent One. It was a challenge to step outside of myself and try to have empathy to encompass the mind of a programmed individual who went full on rogue into delusions of grandeur as perhaps a coping mechanism or perhaps he enjoyed the thrill and the programming only added adrenaline to his ambitions.
