Challenge of the Week XCIX
Kingdom Come. Democracy has not always existed. Before there was democracy, there were kings, queens, and monarchs. The setting is a land governed by a monarchy. Be the monarch tyrannical or benevolent, they rule absolutely and cast a long shadow. You can write from within the walls of the palace, or from without. Fiction or non-fiction, poetry or Prose.

Feed Me Power

My shadow scares

off the ones who bow before.

A silk red cape

drags behind my leisured walk

down the widened staircase

of my kingdom.

Black and blue

language

rolls off my tongue

and shatters your kneecaps;

collapsing you before my empowered stance.

The trivial level of love

that drains from my heart

stems around these walls

and keeps the windows shut.

These vines protect me

from the outside shine

that melts my skin

into Royal Sewage.

My palace,

my mind,

my soul,

devours yours

from your twin-sized mattress

for the safety

of my cherry-wood framed

California Queen.
