The Empress

Once I sat upon your throne to visit a familiar chair I am the Empress overthrown I no longer rule or scare My face is in the picture since 1968 There is no kind of stricture I'm sitting at the gate I stand for birth and promise of a new dawn seeping in and of gifts awmous refraining from any sin So lay out the cards of ink my friends and see me sitting there you need not for to make amends I'll grant your wishes fair.

"I am the Empress overthrown" Yet, "I'll grant your wishes fair" Says so much about your character. Muse inspired or not. This is beautiful in so many amazing ways. Congratulations Angela, on Poem of the Day. :) Brandy
