A Poets Collage of life...

Greetings friends...Sphinx here, as of last night I decided to post my poetry publicly for everyone to reed and enjoy, or even to criticize...so here goes

Note everything is copywritten:

A Child or a King

I here that gods and kings cry alone…displaying no emotions atop their thrones,
I here that kings shed tears only in the comfort of darkness, showing no weakness to the world, how misguided we are, believing it’s best to seem heartless/
I here that kings keeps their emotions contained, Unable to publicly show pain/ we leave no trace of our tears/ instead we cry in our chambers in silence, yet in unison with our peers/ So the stars sing of our broken hearts, they’ve done so for years/ They say kings know no regret, how foolish they are/ Or is it the king that is foolish…dwelling in splendor with a hardened heart/ They said that kings believe that it’s best to forget what they say/ I was a king once/ But then u lead me astray/ Now I’m simply a man looking ever forward, afraid of his past/ Seeking twilight, then the dawn so that I can know yesterday has surely passed/ I’m merely a man now trapped in the shell of a child without a childhood/ forced to hate everyone in the area in which I stood/ Perhaps I was never a king, atop a throne/ Merely a delusional child holding tightly the devils hand, yet truly alone, but then u came along, and slowly I stood, slowly I opened up, first my mind, my heart, and now you’ve even taken my soul/ Even if this freedom is only temporary I’m still yours to hold no longer the devils to control…But in truth I wonder what do you see in me, a child in need of love, or a king whose heart is steadily growing cold…or perhaps I’m a demon seed, intertwined, and created by both

That was the best poem Ive ever read, it wasn't to mushy and was strait forward. It held threads to reality, great job keep it up I want to read more of what you write

That is really good!

I notice that a lot of people post poems on here why not just make a poetry thread where people can post their own poetry as many times as they want. I know there is a dark poetry thread put someone can make where you can post all kinds of poetry. Its just a suggestion no one has to do it.
