Love Poem: Agony Behold the Ruler

Agony Behold the Ruler




A man of untouchable reason
A man of wealth and pride
Slips away in misery 
To lead a lonely life

From his great zenith 
A chair perched high atop his regime
A king ponders his glory 
As his love slips away   

For in the eye of power
A soul is often sold
To control a frightened country
Though the truth shall lie untold

And still this man of weary love
Searching deep inside 
Shall one day find
The sacred key  
To unlock what's left inside
