The Queen of Nothing Take me back from whence I came Here there's nought for me to gain But nothing left to lose remains 'Twas all lost in your final reign As ruler of my heart Your beguiling decree indicated Past hells be vindicated 'Til your throne you abdicated My thirst for you unsated You are a cruel king Master of all I dreamt Hour upon hour spent Inhaling the heady scent Deceit, 'tis fragrance-drenched You were my breath A peasant at your feet 'twas I Not esteemed enough in your noble eye To warrant honesty…you fed me lies Their poison led to my demise My heart is dead As you cast your eye on this plebian form You may envision a face forlorn Yet inside the peasant is transformed The former ice queen now reborn Long Live The Queen caroline 1999 all rights reserved ------------------ The only man worth your tears will never make you cry... |

Very wonderfully written Caroline...I loved the aaaab format to this one, it worked wonders to bring out the meaning. Great job!!! ------------------ "Nobody has measured, not even poets, how much the heart can hold" ~Zelda Fitzgerald |

Excellent! I second the motion on the signature. Maybe it is a possibility for your next work? |

Thank you so much...this poem was written with great anger (I guess that is obvious though!) and I was afraid the antiquated-type wording and style might put some people off. I am not sure where the signature quote originates. I wish I knew who said it first..I'd give 'em a medal for truth! ------------------ The only man worth your tears will never make you cry... |
