Of Kingdoms

The kingdom of my psyche’s let
Ties a Gordian knot of set
It shawls my shoulders and my thigh’s
Knotted well in truth and lies.

It warms the flesh upon my bones
Inscriptions set on aging stones
Underneath a rivers flume
That will not let the moss to bloom

It chooses paths for me to roam
Sails my ship through spray and foam
Draws a curtain to a stage
To read the words upon its page

And I a puppet tied with strings
Obey the law of primal things
Speak upon a wind of draft
That sounds to me of hollow shaft

I would the puppeteer appear
But he’s too busy in the rear

Naw he's not back there becauase there's no puppet that can write great poetry like this.....However, we are all immersed in our own personal kingdoms. Like Bob Dylan said, "you've got to serve somebody"


Good write Sy!

Good morning, Sir T!

Well, I'm going to go really deep with my interpretation of this illustrious write. It is about you wrapped in a shawl being jerked about by puppet strings! lol

Love you!
