The Empress

I made this country my realm

I govern it by fear

I have no mercy for enemies who try to take me away from this throne

It is mine 

Only mine!


I was born a woman

 I saw many underestimate me because of my gender

But when a woman is born with ambition running through her bloodstream

As I was

There is no way to stop such a compelling force

Her nature will blossom to command


I am a self-made winner

Smart enough to urdermine anyone's argument

I did not come to be a follower

But a supreme leader


My country challenges are many

These challenges drive me

To excell in my capabilities



I know it became a land of conspirators

Since I came to power

So I am constantly on guard

With an eagle's eye over my surroundings

Any wrong maneuver might cost my life



The almight power I have 

Make me feel above all

I have this uniqueness

It is seductive to be 

In such a high pedestal

My will stands supreme


However

Every thing in life as a price

The price for my sovereignty as a ruler

Is loneliness

I live in complete emotional isolation

I cannot trust anybody the confession

Of dreams, feelings or expectations



My existence is miserable in this aspect

It is like to live in a devastated place

Plenty of desolation

It is a fruitless ground for a dignifying life ...

Truth About Love

Love is a mystery
Can be male or female
Light or darkness
Strength or sickness


Not always black and white
It is not always obvious
But complex
Some times incoherent


Love can break all the rules
Or get strangled between them
Can be freedom or cage
Give wings or chains
Change and challenge
Utmost exploration or exploitation


Love can give or take
Be strong or fake
Fairy tale or nightmare
Loneliness or continent


Love has a thousand faces
Love is the ultimate experience
Can be the dream of a lifetime
Salvation and destination


Love can be frightening for hearts
Afraid of vulnerability


Love demands intensity
Surrender
It brings risks
But life is all about risks anyway


Love and Life
Have a lot in common
Both are essential
Imperfect


Without them
We are nothing!
