My father-protector,
I accepted my fate,
Gave the scepter away like a gift undeserved,
Turned away from the throne, threw my thoughts to the winds…
An obedient servant, I continued to serve!
O, forgive me my sins!

On your throne,
He descended like a crow on the cross
And transgressed in your dress, -- all his flaws were exposed.
He defiled your life with his filth, with his lies…
Those incestuous sheets! O, those mischievous eyes!
How they lied in your bed!
How they laughed at my loss!

And an heir to the throne,
I ripped out my hair!
No one thought I would dare, but I dared daring death.
Couldn’t bare all this hate so I bared it at him!
Bared my teeth like a dog at the beast in the snare,
Looked him straight in the eye as I inhaled his breath,
And I watched as he shivered like a sheep from the scare.

My father-protector,
I walked in your steps,
Put my life on the line, -- on the blade of a sword,
Met my foe in discord, overflowing with strife,--
But I gave you my word that I’d get my revenge,
And I bought this revenge with the price of my life.

Wow, amazing work. I always felt people who right like Shakespeare or like Whitman are the true poets in this world. Your work reminds me of them very much and I do believe you've got a special talent. Keep it up! My favorite line: Met my foe in discord, overflowing with strife <-- Don't ask me why I like it, but it just stands out for me.
