Watch Her ways

Queens, especially need to watch their ways

Keep themselves and humility displays

Not vaunted show and lustful wanting

Self debased and others lifting

She will walk the demure mile

Keeping clean within the style

All decorum being attended to

Brashness and boldness all eschew.

Watch Her ways, they will now increase

And the divas show will all decease

Watch Her swallow all her pride

Live life in the right to chide

That others lifted she will see

And live life in all humility.

Pity the White King

The ball always seemed to be in your court

You refused the responsibility with curt retort

Refusing to talk or sort out the wrong

The hurt was deep and very long. 

You work on feelings that turn to pity

Hiding in the depths of hate so pithy

Full of sin and covetous wanting

Recognition and acclaim vaunting

I wish I could have changed you- I prayed

But it did not happen and you stayed

A child and never wanting to share

Or for my pains you did not care…

Now I am alone and the darkness is outside

Only here with my Saviour I will abide

In the gardens of hope and the want of better days

Wishing you what you need and cheerful lays…

The Pink Queen is out

The Pink Queen is out of order and time

Her dignity and decorum not worth a dime

As she carps and quibbles with those above the ranking order

Never to consider the effects of political wrangling in the corridor

Of her perceived power and fake confidence ways

That undermine and integrity slays.

She’s out of power and out of sorts

All her ships have left the ports

And gone to warmer climes to see

The outcomes of one fixed so vehemently

To the settlement of home and family

Where she never can be wholly free

Left to eek out her meagre existence

And seek the road of least resistance.

The Pink Queen needs to find humble pie

And eat it before the trouble in her eye

Sees the bourgeoning of the White Queen’s power

Living life freely in the exalted, ivory tower.

The Gold Queen

Her heart is given so readily and vulnerable is she

Full of the power of protection and love given free

Her work is to keep the board so clear

And bring all outsiders close and near.

A softness envelops her closing eyes

As before the Black King a light will surprise

That she is His dominion and glorious bride

The Gold of Ophir is her robe to abide

In eternal bliss at the end of the day

All evil and darkness her psyche will not flay

For she a conqueror still and full of power

Living freely in the eternal lover’s bower.

She seems to glow with the threads of life

Her golden tresses a glory rife

Only youth and beauty will always be her domain

As over all the others she will conquer and reign.

The Red and White

The Red Queen and the White Queen sit head to head

The White Queen said “it’s time to head to bed

For the day is far spent and the night is long

We face life in the power of the strong.”

As the Queens hold sway over all that is riven

Hearts shattered and peace forcibly given

To the majesties of the heavenly realms

Who wait in patient sitting to awaken their dreams

Love passed over and they mourn its passing

Like two lovers lost in the final crossing

Of the Styx that will conquer all their vision

And leave only the memory of their divisions

The power of the Black King runs in their veins

Washing out the poison of the blood that stains

And giving courage to face the coming strife

As war breaks out and they are fighting for the life

That is certainly theirs in all the coming ages

And brings them restless to the comforting pages

Of the Black Book, the place of the final doom

Of all evil that will in the end spell the end of gloom.

The Red Queen

She is silent and still having served a mighty shock

From a lover, once close but heart now a rock

Throwing her over for something less than real

The Red Queen acquiesces over the unfair deal.

He pushed her far away from his life

Separate and silent they side-step the strife

That would upset the royal court of love

Each seeking their own psyche to prove

That love will find a way, but not with her

The Red Queen fights the hurtful burr

As he roves out of sight to pastures of another

Leaving her heart broken and in need of a lover

Who will eternally keep her out of the gloom

And fill all her dreams in the world of no doom

Take flight as The Red Queen surely will

To mend her soul and tragedy and beauty fill

Her mind now open and being set free from the past

With The Thin White Queen who will keep her fast…

Two Dark Knights

Never leaving the confines of the castle walls

The perpetual psyche forever falls

To the grace of peace in the white and frosty glare

Of the walls that bind them in to a home so fair

That keeps them dreaming of better things

And visions of all that money brings

To buy and sell their way out of bliss

Counting this world better than all of this

That is offered them from the hand of the White Queen

Who glides past and yet to them is seldom seen

That she has the answer to their golden dream

They wait and work and seek the better life

Without rancour in this outside world of strife

They live lives within the walls of peace

A prison for the mind and imagination deceased

That constant trial for the novel edge

The seeming constant billow of a sudden rage

That destroys all in its path to life and love

Conquering the hand within the glove…

Fly away

She bought a coat of deepest softest blue

To cover her mortal frame from the wetness of the dew.

It rippled down like many muscles on her body

Like blue clouds in a sky so full and bonny

Keeping her free from the chill of the night

And dry as she walked home to imbibe the light

Of her majestic abode so rich and rare

Where many people would stop and stare

At colours and the myriad of the deepest blues

The fascination of the multitude of hues

That inhabit the skies where she looks up

For the promised Black King will come back up

To claim His true and lasting lover

And she her true beloved forever cover

The robe of the deepest blue

Royalty is ever her opinion due

Keep her warm until the day

When the Thin White Queen will fly away…

Into Her own

The Thin White Queen has come into her own

Her confidence and psyche have exponentially grown

Into the faith and trust in her lover The Black King

Who has taught her all she knows and will bring

Into the arena of life to show all who quibble

At one so defeated reduced and with heart-trouble

That has weighed her down but no more

She stands alone on a far distant shore

From all who have neglected and reduced

Her love to nothing but a concept produced

By bigotry, snobbery and all that is unholy

Rejected by her as one so lowly

Never again to need the praise of human folly

But upright living in heaven’s open beauty

That will last forever in her psyche and in rest

The only one, the brightest and the best.

Ruby wine

The Queen sips on her glass of ruby red wine

The clock ticks forever and all the time

Waiting for someone who will never come

Alone she sits and waits for kingdom come.

He is so far away and out of sight

The Black and steely spectre of the Knight

Who wants her but she does not respond

The shadow of another brings despond.

The murky depths envelop her heart and mind

Making her view of love so deeply blind

Waiting for the one of thoughts and wishes

Who never leaves his situation so suspicious

Because of the gloom descended from above

That keeps his heart in chains of love

Her separation is now complete

The end game the mercy seat

There she will find the last reprieve

As to her Lord, the Black King she will grieve

That He loves her still and keeps her true

Bringing he gently and safely through.
