I Once Was a King

I once was a king, 
crown, 
coat of armor
purple robe, 
   chamber, 
      honor
goblet with stones
drank of the fine
foods 
at a table
longer than time
the virgin 
queen
   royal 
     esteem
invisible kingdom 
I once was a king
The jester in magic
   fools 
       fire
burned for the city
my royal attire
a joke
laughed
cover my skin
queen 
she laughed
royal virgin
invisible crown
jest through and through
I once was a king
  loyal
    true
