King and Queen, Prince and Princess wisely
Reign empire with providence sovereignty,
Royal rank, authority, and power with ties key.

Large empires Assyrian, Persian, and Median realms prong,
World of Roman Empire ruled for centuries long,

The Rise and Fall of Empires
An empire rises, 
When the trees are in their prime,
Until axes can be heard ringing all the time,
And the waters start to rise above the plimsoll line

An empire dies,
When the old men of the forest,
Are cut down with the rest,
Leaving the sun to do the...

Empires of War
Empires rise,
Legions fall.
Men and women live through it all.
Empires fall,
Legions cross the sea.
Families with men they never again will see.
Empires no more,
Legions disappear.
War is done and people no longer live in fear....

Book: Radiant Verses: A Journey Through Inspiring Poetry



In the Wake of Empires
I anticipate 
the marching campaigns 
of your fingertips,
the mapping of vexed trails
to be conquered

those relentless, lawless, crusades 
over every sensitive summit. 

You've built empires 
over my every nerve
and toppled each 
with gratifying urgency.

Ah! My Lover,
my one man Dynasty
the way you command my passion
and possess the...

Loud As Empires
With regardless grace,
The dawn succeeds.
We, the midnight revolutionaries,
Are as loud as empires
In the calling black.

The day comes. Our words refuse her....

Empires
So much for the thrill of rule, of control,
I've had my fill, though I've burdened no throne.
Tis a small, poisoned mind temptation stole,
and loaned cursed gold no greed could condone. 

Natural to men - are we not born in fear? -
to see our brothers as...

Empires Slowly Fall
The sun will shine and 
Lovers will dine and 
It don't really matter if 
You don't know why 
Clouds up in the sky 
Will keep on floating by 
Even if you ease your mind 
So, give it a try 
The ants will still crawl 
Empires...

Empires Dream
Dream, dreams of empire
in realms vision scapes
an infinite fire…

Standing, casting away all thoughts 
onto the shores of a world afar 

As the Red Sea’s meet
in between the emerald seams
of a violent life, on a lazy horizon

A distant future’s weight building 
in the inner walls of...

From Empires To Pawns
It might be cliche but we must right all our wrongs.
Bringing downfall to the susceptible ones.
I know I am not.
One to preach.
But truth and dignity, from which I Believe.
Come old faithful one.
Enlighten by my Sun.
Shaping the fortunes for worlds to come.
Denying all grief.
For I am...

Empires
Empires.

Over the massive easterly ridge I see thousands of soldiers,
in splendid golden helmets, marching down the slope pushing 
shadows, the residue of night, in front of them.
There is a momentary lull as a wayward cloud blocks the sun, 
but the attack resumes and soon the...

Fallen Empires
Ambient breeze 
Caressing dead erroded figures 
Gently hewn impressions jest knowingly 
Laughing madly now only pitied 
Quieted remaing stagnant 
Tired useless vessles °
Weathered xylography 
Yesterday's zeitgeist...

Beyond
my destiny stems far and beyond

born with the spiritual

no need for a magic wand

within, ancient wisdom corresponds

people unintentionally fear the black swan

I’m a freedom fighter better than Flynn from the movie Tron

the force in me is strong, as I skywalk with Han

ideas constantly, sprouting like...

Tidal Whirlpool
Into the darkness I drove the line.
With sudden persistence I stuck their spirits.
Questions arose about my faith.
Under the shadows the powers of the air quake.
Through blended fields I struck their souls.
Yoking my aura deep into the earth.
Waking the mountain it never crumbled.
Ascending the moon, we...
