Best Royalty Poems

We live as kings and queens of yesterday could only dream
   Central heat, plumbing, air-conditioning, washers and dryers too
We shower once or twice a day, with conditioner and shampoo
   Steak every night should we want it, followed by cake and ice...

There are too many people walking around every single day 
And if you ask them who they are most don't know what to say 
You need to know who you are and how you came to be 
And if you are a child of God...

When a black woman love
she loves deeply.
She cares truly.
When she touch;
with tenderness.
Whenever she listen;
always filled with compassion.
 
Whom she respects;
that she adores!
She never judge;
she supports!
Will always have your back;
she is crazy loyal!
She never gives up on 'em;
she takes care of her own.
 
Whenever she is...

Time changes all things 
Subtracts and adds to life 
The most one can see is 
Five generations  at a time. 
Strange how history fades 
with each passing day. 
Memories become
 harder to hold onto. 
We forget who begot who 
Royalty and purple cloaks 
Is there...

A tear
slow motion down
the hill of my round cheek
tickling the corner of my mouth
I feel

An ache
knowing your loss
remembering the face
of the one I lost years ago
embrace

Our hearts 
joined in oneness
in a bond that will last
because we've walked in the same shoes
our grace

Likewise
Today's hardship
has the power...

I decend from rock royalty.
On a local Irish level.
My Dad rocked around the clock.
At night in local dancehalls.
And daily in his chemist shop.
Accordion strapped on tight.

He begat three singing sons.
And four fine singing daughters.
At his funeral we seven sang his
favourite hymns and Danny Boy.
There was...

Sitting on the classy living room, pungent fragrance fills the lungs
Wealthy life apparent from the pleasant views which displayed
Living like a royalty these people walking on the air...

When sunrise broke, expected clouds
Were nowhere to be seen
Yet, rain was falling in the crowd
Halfway to Beale Street

Across the well-kept, mourning lawn
Inside the noted gates
A million tears for every song
Sprang forth to venerate

The kid who crossed a hundred miles
To reach that flaming...

Riches fade

Faithfulness lasts....

Canine the king and Feline the queen
Were not quite birds of a feather
In fact they fought like cats and dogs
When they were reigning together!

One dark night Feline ran away
Canine was real mad about that
He caught up to her the next day
They all said, “He's quick...

It’s Jubilee tea at my auntie’s care home
Aunt Phyllis’s hair could do with a comb
But she doesn’t mind and puts on her hat
The queen won’t be there’s no need to flap
 
The table is laden with all sorts of food
Ada burps loudly she’s so blinking...

The Monarch of the night descends,
and for a time, her tenure ends
at daybreak.

She'll shut her eyes and sleep. But then
ascends the regal Sovereign
of daytime.

Imperial his stately rise;
majestic colors splash the skies -
our daystar.

His robe: the warmth; his sceptor: light.
His court: white clouds; his crown: in...

Though she isn’t just a butterfly
She’s been a monarch of the sky
Wings, so gentle, often impress
Like love from above, she does bless

Like the ruler she’s always stood
Lovely and kind, reigning with good
She knows affection won’t repress
Like love from above, she does bless

Matriarch of hope, joy...
