He sat in regal splendor on his golden throne of righteous might and ordered ladies, one-two-three to come to him and stay the night. His custom, as he always did to favor thus the lucky ones and never take a moments note of what became of them when done. Then came a night of full moons' glow and just one lady did appear She told him she was all the three wrapped into one, so do not fear. He shook his head, twas not his way he wanted what he always had but she determined she would stay her nature, just a little bad. Thus she did change the Emperor and made him think a time or two that he might want to make her queen as she had made this old man new. He held her close throughout the night but come the rise of early morn his arms were empty, for you see his special lady now was gone. And so he sat upon his throne in Kingly grace, but all alone. |

I am glad you have gotten past the sharp object stage. *S* I liked the poem and like the die hard romantic that I am was sure that those that tread on others hearts like this king always end up lonely in the end. Dan Death comes not when we cease to breathe, but when we cease to dream. |

------------------------ I'd say he didn't know how to keep the special lady safe in his keep He didn't tell her of her freeing the heart of him which was imprisoned in his cell So Lonely he should be till he learns how to stop her from going away how with his love he'd make her forever want to stay ---------------------- Oh...Such a lovely...lovely piece Sandra... Sorry I couldn't help but write those lines..I hope you don't mind. Thank you dearest.. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

Beautiful poem Sandra. And I loved the ending. If you believe in karma, it will happen to him. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

 (sad sigh) Such a beautiful but saddening poem! I feel just like this poor emperor, dreaming for a love ever so much too! (sad sigh) You are our beautiful queen, and you are destined to love a loving prince very soon! (sigh) We all love you so much, sweet Sandra! (kiss on cheek) You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |
