KING
He is no ruler of man, save for himself-
He has been called visionary and warrior-
Champion, scholar, comforter and poet-
The citadel that is his heart, always guarded-
The galaxy that is his mind, vast and far reaching-
He carries many loads and has many shames upon him-
His queen,.... fleeting and evasive,.... smoke-
She rules his heart but knows not her sway-
He rejects her advances in order to do things lawfully-
She taunts him with her adornments and burns his agenda-
Besieged he is from all sides of his castle fortress-
The attackers are not privy to what awaits them beyond the battered gates-
They only see the glow that is emitted from within-
He sees only the attacking masses in blinding swarms-
Despite this, he does not claim defeat but victory-
Queen moves and then overcomes pawn-
Pawn is not King for Pawn lacks intuition and refinement-
He looks upon his slain would be rivals-
He wonders what they could have been-
He worries not about the darkening sky that is but another wave-
He is king......
