The Steely knife

He stabs her with his steely knife

She stays still and quiet without strife

To fill the vials and wait for time

The healer that fixes all sublime

To make it to the final curtain

That for sure is now certain

The depths of sad descend again

The heights of glad rise to fame

Denied her by her love so true

Protecting and rejoicing over her

With singing and the dance of life

That fills her days with heaven life

The Fight

The Thin White Queen lives to fight another day

In love with her true heart she would wish to stay

As she walks alone in this troubled world

Every day a flag unravelled and unfurled

The walk of the Thin White Glide

Will stem the onslaught of the coming tide

Of inevitable heartbreak and heartache

Life and love a frozen part of the coming trouble

Which will pass as all other do though double

The price of all her sins

Have been repaid with her psyche deep within

Who will release this pent up love and take

What she offers and a home will make?

Long live the Black King who forever reigns

And holds all lives in His key of chains

And judges all so very perfectly

Loving the Thin White Queen so completely.

Spinning board

The chequer board spins on the Thin White Glide

Thinking that somewhere, someone has died

She slips and slides up and down the very place

Looking for His warm embrace.

Who will deliver from the hand of death?

What can replace her latest breath?

Only the Saviour King can know

Or point the way her glide to slow.

Fast and slower she rides the storms

Waiting and waiting for loves alarms

Where all is at rest and peace and love

Everlasting life to prove.

The meeting

He stumbled and he fell, 

he never made a sound

His arms were free, his heart was hard

And fell headlong to the ground.

The mind didn’t see it coming 

and fear was on both his lips

Silence reigned eternal

As hate from love life strips.

The furtive look, the terror

Of she who owned his heart

But the feeling of his treason

Left a cold and shallow smart.

The collar of his coat

Forever hiding his face

Love now dead and flying

In the grave of grace.

The Kingdom

The kingdom it can never fail

Built by the eternal king before time’s tale

Told out this story so rampant and true

About the Thin White Queen and her love so true.

The Black King will rule over all

And will put away insurrections squall

With a single Word, the Holy Grail

His will and authority never fail.

The Holy Trinity will overcome in love

And the ways of the kingdom will rule above

In realms of bliss and peace and joy

All riches now resting to never cloy.

All those who thwart the royal rule

Will find themselves a speaking fool

For the trinity of evil, the world, flesh and devil

Are banished forever without a trial.

The Black King is ever on His throne

The Thin White Queen forever shown

To be the holy Bride of the Bridegroom’s choice

Listening only to His loving and true voice.

The kingdom has come in all its glory

Telling again the perfect story

Of the plan of the King of all Kings to champion

And reign victorious in His holy fashion.

The Victorious King

What you endured I cannot say

My eternal price to pay

My love overflows for you my King

You win my heart so I sing

Songs of love to you and exalt

The mind now a closed vault

To all who would hurt me or deceive

Leaving me in sin’s reprieve

To hurt and cajole me to perform

Your cruel ways now your cultural norm. 

The enemy is far away and I am safe

I rest my weary head in your embrace. 

Dashed

He has taken her best and dashed it

To the ground like broken shreds

Of discarded pottery smashed and hurt

On rows of concrete beds.

Her heart is soft and yielding

The mind a razor beam

A face to sink a thousand ships

But heartache comes between.

He showed her in the dead of night

The rain it fell like tears

A hundred hearts for yours my love

To conquer all your fears.

“You belong to only me,” He said

Her perfect Lover spoke

In words of love and wisdom

So faith it has not broke.

Her took her in His careful arms

And accepted all her sorrow

Love came to The Thin White Queen that night

And showed her a bright tomorrow…

Sword

She raises the sword another time

Deigning him a Knight sublime

Not the Black King but a Knight so rare

One who loves and who can care.

She touches him gently on the neck

A chaste kiss a tiny peck

To indicate her love and gratitude

For empathy and lack of platitude.

Sweet friend, be with me in the fight

Against the dark and too much light

That threatens reason and the profligate

And steals the good from heaven’s very gate.

A beauty reigns, may it never pass

Speaking gently of things to pass

A future hidden in His mighty hand

An empire now begun in a promised land.

The Great Steed

The Great Steed carries her to the arms of true love

Love so all-encompassing it consumes her mind

She envisages that love as forever

But it is not for she is destiny never

With a life-time love that holds her

Fast and supports the throne for ever.

She rides the steed with that semblance of hope

Knowing to is just the imagination to cope

With the loneliness within her heart

That causes the better part of her to weep

For this her outcome of the way of sleep

That dreams of true love without ties

A situation that always lies.

The Great Steed gallops on

Into the blue beyond…
