Poems
Jul 2010
romanov
the cold had caused much restlessness
within our people's heart
the vengeful hand guiding their hate
would tear our lives apart.
the sun was setting on our reign
and night was closing in
worried visions peirced our sleep
and burrowed deep within.
the verdent hues of spring were near
but just beyond our reach
for on the ides they took us too
a land of snowy beasts
so there we stayed until the sun
rose dizzyingly high
and when the ****** snows did melt,
they brought us back to die
Imprisoned in a gilded cage
with summer drawing near
the revolutionists appraoched
injecting us with fear
we had our frozen dew drops royal
stitched around our waists
a final effort to release
our family from this fate
then when the moon was high at night
when evil things do crawl
they took us down below the house
lined up against a wall
their bullets pierced our fathers heart
murdered our brother too
and diamond corsets failed to stop
royal blood from running blue
it poured out over all the ground
the watchmaker had won
the royal lineage was dead
our priviledged lives undone
the vessels we had once possessed
endured the desecration
of acid baths and deep mine shafts
and burning mutilation
and so about two weeks inside
the seventh month, july
the last of russia's royalty
would bid their lives goodbye.
