Reigned Poems - Poems about Reigned

In the silent halls where silence reigned supreme

In the silent halls where silence reigned supreme,
An unseen storm shattered the stillness, like a foreign voice,
A harsh, uninvited voice that wove a tale of judgments,
Speaking of unseen mistakes, lost in shadow.
Its echo spread, bitter as a dark wave,
Without evidence, without support, yet seeking to tarnish names,
The mirror cracked, its truth betrayed by words,
But in

When Glenn Hughes Contests Reigned

The contests started slowly
all in appreciation of Glenn Hughes

Only a few would enter 
using inspired words so eloquently 

But in due time the Glenn Hughes contests 
caught on fire
and everyone was scrambling to enter

The contests filled up so quickly 
I as judge had to breathe deeply
to concentrate

It came a time I didn’t have to remind

When Peace Reigned

When peace reigned 

In the year 1334 or so 
the residents in Alhambra thought Catholic 
chimed too early on Sundays
at the time, Granada was ruled by, The Muslims that went along fine with the Christians, who were good farmers and makers of wine
Not to forget, the Jewish population ( people of the book) kept the

Imagination Reigned Supreme

So long ago, so far away
   seems forever, we used to play
Imagination reigned supreme
   You were Queen; I was King

We ruled our world with gentle hand
   from highest mountain to desert sands
You headed East; I traveled West
   Our greatest privilege, to grant requests

Where fled our Kingdom? Why

Reigned In Too Early

Anonymous whispers, blowing secrets,
softly blown air through lips, syllables 
like sidelong glances down cafeteria tables, 
avoid directness, avoid contact, see, 
girls nearly women don’t speak of love in the same sentence as sex, 
girls in tight jeans, hair slicked certain, lips rosebud red, tight, 
mouths moving, practiced phrases of shared intimacies,
lowly blown secrets lying between

Confusion Reigned Supreme In My Lair

In my lair
I seized life by her hair
Cos I was fed up with the affair

In which folks went for broke
In harsh words and tones they spoke
Crushing my stark reality as they awoke

Feeling guilty
Cos stalking me became their utility
Frowning at the versatility

I took in my stride
As they plotted and slayed my pride
When without an iota of

If Immortality Reigned

My dearest, if immortality reigned 
Would you strive, strive and ask something more 
No choice given, would you leave me pained 
The things I think at night shake my very core 
We shudder and shake as if our pasts wake 
You're oh so sweet love, I do hope to keep 
My love for you my

You Reigned

Like the tick and wine of the Clock 
Like the Rising and Setting of the Sun
Rising from among the multitude 
To disappear like the thickest of Clouds 
But just for a while. 

Yes! You Reigned 
Surely the Oracle did Reign 
But! That was yesterday 
You Reign as if you will forever do 
But just for

Love Reigned Then

When you were here
I'd watch you sleep
While carving your
face on clay 
Trying to capture
your perfection
As my heart
fluttered faster
with affection
Watching your breath
release
Never accepting
bitter defeat
That's when you were
here
You were here

Now your gone 
I sleep in late
Time means nothing
Repetitive days can
wait
The sun can stay
sleeping
As the moon is my
friend
Silence the birds
Let the anguish
reign

My heart stopped
beating
Starved and just
living
Seeking happiness
from something
But

The Flight of Tempest Reigned

Upon a glorious night
A burning fire lit upon my unrented spine
Deafened by fleeting sight
I flee the home that never was quite mine

Crushed in garish fight
Within the corridor I dare to flee
Blinded by his might
While all the sad spirits return to me

Oh Tempest, you blow in me hope
Of sorrow more true than any other light
Oh Tempest
