The Eternal Kingdom

Only accessible through the gates of death

When I have surrendered my latest breath

And succumbed to the tide of woes

That have infested my life so it goes

That I will enter into my eternal home

Where His love and grace is forever shown.

The Black King and the White Queen will rest

In the plains of delight and seek the best

The love that never dies or fades away

In each others arms for eternity to stay.

Lift up your eyes and see the eternal prize

That is kept for you way beyond the skies.

The prayer of the Black King is now complete

The Kingdom is come with joy replete

Only the just shall enter here

Holding peace and joy forever near…

Sin

Come every heart let you eschew

Every deed that you did do

That broke the heart of the Black King

And made him weep in suffering.

Cast all your dark deeds away from you

You cannot last for the day is through

Time has caught up with the giddy blast

A fickle love that will time outlast

For it is full of sadness and woe

To the depths of hell it will surely go.

Into the blue you will soar with delight

At every sin now cast aside with the sight

Of the man on the cross who died today

That you in clover in your soul will stay,

And never cease to sing out loud

The Black King derided the white shroud

That held Him fast for so short a time

To buy you heaven in light sublime.

Littered paper

The torn cards now lie littered at her feet

All hope is gone and the stony heart is replete

With all anxious cares gone by to see

Deaths armies coagulate at the sight He

Fate has dealt her a deadly blow

Now under the sod she will surely go

As to the twist of circumstance and pride

Shake its fist and all other helps deride.

Come Queen of hearts and melt the stony wax

That lays the card out like brass tacks

Waiting for love that never comes

Engulfed by the everyday chores and humdrums

The Black King will welcome you now

He who points the way will show you how

To get recompense for the grisly deed

That dealt the death blow to your need.

The end of an era

The royal liaison is over now

Killed by neglect in the lovers bower

The steely knife has struck the blow

And ended the liaison staid and slow.

Another epoch has now begun

Over the world the courses have run

As she once again loves and seeks reprieve

From all the entanglement she has received.

The blade of regret has been removed

As clarity eternal to her psyche smooth

Made clear for the chains that held her fast

And have a life that has now gone past.

Victory has a hollow sound

As over the corpse of love is found

A recipe for the resurrection day

A day when love and life hold sway.

The paper is signed, the deed is done

Completion of the road to freedom has come

She steps over the threshold of a brand new time

And the dead knell of hate has run out sublime.

The Queen of all Queens

She is the second mother of the Thin White Queen

And sits in the white of her glorious majesty seen

Her loving heart has passed to every heart sobriety

And her generous hand waits for greatest piety.

The house of glory is not mean or small

But filled with all her treasures big and tall

The Sorns will grace her everlasting gardens

Where the roses grow and forget-me-nots sin pardons.

Lovingly she tend the garden fair and wide

No earthly power can her kindness chide

Effortless grace bestows all her deeds

And her family honours all her creeds.

Ophelia is her name and petals grace her frame

The pretty face and snow-white hair – her mane

Will drive her on apace to her heavenly home

Where the Loving King awaits…

The Languid King

He stand so gentle with his lady love

Stroking the fur so gently laid

On his arm by his lady love

And all their passion is displayed

He is my son, my only son

Who found it hard to say to me

I love you for it hurt him so

And he lost his love for me.

I am bruised and broken but will not quit

I fight the battles on

That love will be rekindled one day

And we will ever more be one…

The Grey Gandalf King

The Grey Gandalf King was once mine

But I left him for the fruit of the vine

A heady mix of spice and taste

It took my heat and made me waste

The beautiful love I had in him

But he has found my life again.

Languishing in love I plead

With my Saviour I will make agreed

A loving bond with him alone

To remain faithful to his royal throne.

He is my true love right and best

Over all my loves to rest

But I must acquiesce from sinful love

And focus on that love above.

The Black King and The White Queen

The Black King and the White Queen

Had a passionate love affair

It burned up the grass into cinders

And filled with singing the air.

The Black King loved so passionately

The Queen was as happy and free

He taught her every powerful move

And he loved her endlessly.

The heights of eternal devotion

Infiltrated her very soul

In an instant he gained a magnificence

She never before did behold.

His power and her passion enveloped

The world and those all around

They loved and adored each other

Until the day they were put underground.

They both relinquished together

Their hold on a mortal life

Into a glory they blossomed eternal

Their passion fulfilled and their strife.

Forever they yield to each other

In beds of permanent bliss

Never a love story witnessed

As true and mighty as this.

The Pink Queen

The Pink Queen has changed her hair

Over and over again

It hangs down so natural and nice

And beauty rules again.

She is my beautiful daughter

With a voice so sweet and keen

I heard it once but never again

My heart it broke and a dream

Of love floated in and over took my heart

And He will lead me home with outer Art

Where I belong, but until then

Earth is my home again and again.

The Pink Queen ekes out her existence 

Calling out to God with resistance

But He will heal her soul and body both

For she is His belovèd true and betrothed

Nothing can separate her from Him

And He will reel her safely in.

Offline off beam

The Queen has been out of sorts and out of mind

Lingering in the depths and slowly going blind

Her heart has sunk to new depths of woe

As into the dark valley she again did go.

No one was there to comfort the strong hand

That has led others to freedom despite the band

That holds her heart like her Saviour true

Keeping her love in check and looking for you.

True love has evaded her again,

As into the depths she has sought release and pain

To remind her that she is human and needs the light

Sinking once more out of human sight

But not to God for He always sees

The dark tragedy the dogs her ways

Come Holy dove and fill this chest again

That she may love freely and be herself again.

All has changed and been renewed by her fair mind

Waiting for others to catch up from far behind

They step up to the plate to pitch a turn

Her love again ripping the heart for the burn.
