The Pharaoh and The Queen (Act II)
Can two truly rule side by side?
Walking separate ways;
making different strides.
A lotus blooms and then it dies,
like all other things in life.
Will we take the mountains?:
climbing as one;
A serpents bite,
a sweet peach,
And a lack of speech.
Light tender skin,
and space filled with zen.
Darkenes eyes,
past or prize?
Can two truly rule side by side?
Walking separate ways;
making different strides.
We could not possibly be the same;
two equals one, will never be sane.
I sit and wonder,
And wait for complain.
Each time they come,
and next, they leave
or I throw them out
with the rest of the dogs --
Let them get lost in the best of the smog.
But a king cannot be thrown from his thrown.
You cannot take back the strength he has grown.
You cannot compare the lengths he has shown,
or the seeds he has sewn.
A careful caress,
and a hat with many jewels.
I've killed all the fools;
my new pharaoh rules!;
taught me what kids never learned in the schools.
Can it be?
Could it possibly be we?
Footprints that fade,
or victorious glee?
Sometimes a storm or
a pigeon of light..
Can two truly rule side by side?
Walking separate ways;
making different strides.
