Short Emperors Poems

A Cinquain.

Once a young man from Bodoni
Owned an old, dappled pony.
And he rode to see the show.
Twas Emperors' new clothes.
Said, That's a vanity Felony....

In the frigid silence of glacial eve, penguins gather tight. 
Emperors, waddling half in black, under half-lit southern night.
One dreams of flight, yet stays on course; with colony alights.

Elevated domains
  Ensure their advantage
  Emperors of the sky 
  Extremely keen eyesight
  Enhance their hunting skills
  Extra sharp talons kill
  Each hapless prey they find

The Americans are the children of the world
with “Why?”
Children, forgotten the tales.
Forgotten 
Hans Chr Andersen and
„The Nightingale”.
How shall I explain to you, oh, emperors, 
the tears,
the white roses,
the morn. 
How?...

Such a interesting word

Transcending in nature.....For Some

Lost in a second.......for others

The Naked Truth 

Pride or Restitution Will Dress the Day

Simple Choice For Some......Gray texture for others.......

Jades of green, yellow and white; 
the colors of life grow warm against the skin.

Precious gems of the lands minerals; 
coveted by any, Jade is the stone of emperors;  
lends a classy aire to any occasion and 
a warm, rich presence to its wearer.

Chariots formed
from stars on high
flown 'cross the sky
by emperors 
in gold raiment's
the regal four
drew worshipers
for rice to rise

Son of God ride
shine on the land
at his command
raise the wheat high
feed earth for man
we pray reply
do not deny
the food for man....

Gold
                 pure precious 
           alluring shining pining 
pharaohs emperors plebs commoners 
          repelling dulling whining 
                   crude waste
                        Dust

fools
                misguided, gullible
        blundering, stultifying, erring
dunderheads, imbeciles, rajas, emperors
     reigning, succeeding, conquering
                 powerful, mighty
                         kings

in the universe our planet occupies a very miniscule spot.
Imagine the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors,
so that for a moment they could relish in all of their victors,
of a fraction of a dot.
In all of its vastness, no evidence in the universe dwells,
that help will come from elsewhere, to save us from ourselves....

Her city steps carved of marble
Many valiant tounges have spoken on her behalf
   Her riches make her stand out
Capital to many, gold

The cementery; bed to those whom only claim bravery
   Roman emperors stand frozen in time
Statues guarding her fundamentals

All to her glory
   Blood the lowest price she paid for all that she has

May Gold have mercy, Amen...

We know not of that Woman,
though ‘tis known that for years
she has begged for death.

what marred such a creature?
unsought furtherance,
everlasting atrocity,

or a centaur,
agog martyrs and honor,

‘tis certain that,
once the castles are built,
their emperors,

though drunk on sex,
and branded by adulation,
shall ascend.

but does fame bespeak
an eternity of pandemonium?
Perchance....

Poison was always the silent killer. 
Kings and emperors fell prey to it easily.
The favorite poisoner of the Roman Emperor Nero, 
this woman ended many lives with her deadly poisons.
FUKIING BIITCH,this woman’s story is a true deadly drama. 
Widely considered as one of the earliest documented serial killers, 
She was certainly a deadly dame.
Note.chemical drink silent killer......

Brave men fighting
Knights crawling
Strong men dying
Life fading
People perishing
For that wish that should be dying
Sooner or later it shall start crying
Kings crying
Emperors imploring
Kingdoms falling
Empires collapsing
Poets writing
Musicians performing
Paintings begging
Statues Kneeling and flying
For a glimpse of your eyes
People had done so
And and now there's no going back....

THIS DREAM AWAKENS

Marmara teasing, 'do you see me?' 
the black sea among
tables more empty than tombs
to yet born emperors as black tie
waiters serve solitude in peaceful
nights and to know the artist
 who has sprinkled dots of fiery
light across the heavens!  

Over there, the beach is empty
shall we run there together
hand in hand and heart within heart
tears of rejoice that i have found you.

Ancient Greeks extracted a dye from shellfish
and purple became each potentate's wish.
For the rare purple matched amethyst rings 
a jewel craved by emperors and kings. 

Julius Caesar donned purple, not red
and the Roman Senate ordered him dead.
For purple’s worn by kings, not dictators
and Romans who wore purple, were traitors.

How often are we led

Or manipulated to see others views

Convinced to go along with things

That we wouldn't ordinarily choose

We need to take responsibility

For the life in which we all live

Ask more questions when things don't seem to fit

I could wax lyrical about everything we perceive

But the truth is

When you don't buy into what it is they sell

Then just walk away and leave

Rather than following other people's dreams....

since the silence prevailed
And all those leaves fell down 
since those autumn days
I've been searching around

The empire of emperors 
through the sunny town
but i just can't find it
And still I'm searching around

In the land or in the sea
where rivers are meant to be 
search it everywhere,but nothing was found
And still I'm searching around

The mysterious land of dreams and love
where fire gets burned in ice
where people live as "PEOPLE" do
The heavenly land of paradise...
