A Frozen King

This realm of steel ice can get unbearable
Everything that I am is locked inside a sub-tolerant shell
Captured away from the visible grounds I had roamed
Seen countless opportunities and yet they passed by and lost
I can say I was born ahead of my time; if it were possible
Then why could not I exist in the next 20 years
Here I am with a mature heart in a misshapen body
An exposed body dictating and outweighing my crippled mind
My kingdom feels empty in these shady concrete layers
And vulnerable of not having my possible righteous queen
I say hello, pardon me and such but they were all ignored somehow
So every shatter I get, the pieces remain the make me stare
Lets me remember how my kind is getting extinct by the constant
A man’s thoughts are no more appealing for their ears
Then many would question why I’m in these ways of silence
Well the point I am soundless is because your ears are closed
So there’s no point to acknowledge when you don’t want to open
Therefore here’s another monument of what a loyal man should be
Here stands the king of a thousand wishes for all time
Until there is that one woman who can make them come true
Who pauses out of time and gaze into these eyes
She’ll look for what I venture for when I stare into hers
My hearts hopes for her precious love to melt me free
Free from this banishment and finally crown my only love highness

Untitled

Taste rain that falls on your face
Wish for it to be the answers
But it still runs down then drops
Every drop splashes on your feelings
Thoughts on being caught up by them
Beauty features and elegance that is silent
Tissue soft roses that’s upon her face
Twinkling eyes only seen in the night time
Then after a blink and a spin, it is lost
You reach your hand out for her pedal
It slips out of the fingertips
Call her name to wake the mountains
She won’t care to answer
Look around and see how the world laughs
Then see your hands that are empty
The heart still beats for one’s affection
It has room for someone to give it a flow
Feels hard to hold up your steady stand
It seems too blind to see another her
All that you can feel is the rain
