Envy Sits Alone

Death in comparison,
  a covetous dispatch

Jealousy reflected,
  its courtiers attack

An emperor left naked,
  his crown a vacant throne

Jesters flee the castle
   —as envy sits alone

Who's the Fool

The jester has a foolish air;
he leaps about and juggles fruit.
While wearing motley, hung with bells,
he'll tumble, caper, dance, and sing.

The courtiers are unaware;
behind his act, he's quite astute.
He gathers secrets which he tells
to no one but the reigning king.

Darkening Sun

Deifying themselves,
  the scientists disprove
  with their tools
  the existence of God

To sit on a throne
  artificially made
  the Creator to them
  falsely shod

They loudly decry
  as their courtiers boast
  about how powerful
  their laws have become

While built into their structure
  a flaw starts to crack
  their self-glory
  —a darkening sun

The Courtiers Letter

Dream of you always
                                Can’t stop thinking about you
                                    We need to meet soon
                                Let us explore each other again
                                Between those fine satin sheets
