A cliche poem I wrote after reading a book by C.S. Lewis
Deep inside her hides Yellowed letters to no one Restless demons with no pride A forbidden box of fun An empty candid smile Eyes as clear as glass She begs you to stay a while "We should enjoy it while it last"
Author's Notes/Comments:
Struggled with the title. You get what you get. :P
GOT Cliche From Within
.
So, a dragon for certainty
that walking out of the fire
was fun. Maybe tomorrow
I'll grow into a queen
of the world and mourn
the loss of dragons.
.
Everyone I loved as a boy
is gone, killed by my enemies.
King was never my goal,
thrones as games never
my favorite entertainment.
