Your red empire
arsenal  !
 Pink roses,

deep  heart of you

Long ago in  the British empire,
Lived extremely gentle vampire.
He, before lay in a coffin,
Loved to drink cup of coffee
And sing songs with guitar by campfire.

Want a kingdom or empire? He asked.

Please let me be queen.

But I woke up before the die was cast.

Love's Empire

Roomed spaces turned upside down
Not for their toppled columns
Of it, mark what's erased.
By the once husband and wife
Ruled over as co-regents
Love's empire. They debased.

Stars reflecting upon the clearest surface of water. 
I think that is how the Mayans taught each astrologer.
Guess that's how everyone in the empire was: looking up, out there.
