Kingdom
written by: Nicole Sara
We radiate a kingdom off each other
of sun that smiles rainbows to the sea,
with rays that lay warm alleys to the moon
a blue and yellow ever winding odyssey
We are both fate and longing to each other,
the scales that weigh long hours in the skies
soon-coming moments that shimmer rather
than older seconds that wear a new guise
The ballads and the chants are all our flight,
each other’s hymn in hazy verse and rhyme,
my piece of heaven and my dream at night
I share them with you, breathing their chime
A castle made of shadows clad in sighs,
whispers of thought and soft becoming, where we live,
with gates like mirrors shining northern skies
a path and shelter to a stranger, that we give
The rooms hide burning miracles inside,
like gems so rich in colorful deep shades,
sparkling so truly like small unfastened windows
touched softly by forgotten rays
Gardens and meadows lure us far away,
petal and pollen are we, so homely, to each other,
in purely balsamic hues and royal sway
and every blade of grass feels like a brother
We are each other’s kingly chance and cheer
sifting with care dear mornings, tender nights,
warping time’s spine sublime, without fear,
feasting on pure winter and spring whites…
On the horizon this realm touches smoothly
a warm infinity, so yours and so mine,
as skylines nobly echo beyond doubt
a land kept close and holy like a shrine
