TEN to ONE

image

Childish fun

TEN triumphant kings

Ruled a vast land

NINE years of war

Fighting for a hand

EIGHT Noble Kings

Remained to kill the day

SEVEN maiden’s chosen

To bring peace

SIX maidens had boys

All at the same time

FIVE days late

She was born

FOUR kings gathered

Scheming against FOUR

THREE planned the end

Truly one stood back

TWO did the deed

Now the few at hand

ONE would finish the two

Taking the Land

ONE obtained above all else

Ruling self with loneliness

TWO Noble men felt bad

Approached with a plan

THREE ideas to save the day

Presented to one maddening king

FOUR small minutes; sheer chaos

Wonderful, glamorous outrages

FIVE miniscule guards

Toss dead noblemen to the curb

SIX empty wine bottles; drank in the day

Kicked; busted by a wall of shame

SEVEN lucky servants

Cleaning it singing Hooray

EIGHT dogs sent running

King in a maddening haze

NINE minks in the corner

Hands folded to pray

TEN Beautiful lights

Filling the night

TEN tears fall

King has it all.

NINE Fingers feel a face

Skin worn thin

EIGHT years plus a few blue moons

Something to brew

SEVEN birds a jerkin

The message coming soon

SIX grown boys

Now young men

FIVE seeking vengeance

Justice upon their heads

FOUR swords sharpening

Bring rest to the day

THREE days to quell the brood

Old King more ruthless

TWO grown boys now men

Stand trial, malcontent

ONE last hope in the distance

Riding on a majestic steed

ONE caramel colored horse

Called “SUCCESS”

TWO steps to the side

Never behind

THREE steps ahead

Conquering was the path

FOUR devastating lots

Now was the time

FIVE Risked it all

Just another shot

SIX little Beauties

Lacking beauty as hers

SEVEN minks in a fountain

Stunned by a goddess on earth

EIGHT Breathtaking Blue swans

Guide her very feet

NINE Powerful aromas upon her skin

Putting even the Nobleman to a knee

TEN elegant flasks

Elegance only in her hands

TEN to bring peace

Eternal in sleep

NINE Glasses taken out

Servants set them up

EIGHT did she fill

Left one empty she did

SEVEN drinks; guards one each

The KING receives two

SIX dancing beauties

Purposely distracting

FIVE servants delivering

Two young men; not so beloved

FOUR swallows; one glass ‘til it’s gone

The whole nine of them fall

THREE white spheres

Picking souls

TWO float towards heaven

Playing harpsichords

ONE

For thy admiration, of course
