Poem

[aiyume]

Archetypes

I have been your King.
You bowed to my every wish
And asked what more you could do
To make me feel worshipped.

I have been your Warrior.
Standing guard, taking psychic blows
But lies make for poor armor
So I defected.

I have been your Lover.
Brief periods of intense heat
Seperated by cool looks
Days, weeks, months at a time.

I have been your Fool.
Through it all, a toy to be hidden
When you were ready to play
At being an adult again.

Intriguing imagery there. Good poetry either way.

Oh wow. Of course the imagery nails me, being the Tarot addict I am. I would love to have a long drawn out conversation about this. Email me, will you? I have much to say off-journal...

and thanks for posting the poem.
