Thine is the kingdom

This is your kingdom
Conquer your territory
Learn its peaks, its valleys, its plains,
Bow and worship its Temple
Offer a sacrifice
Allow the floods to return
As you learn the ways of your kingdom
You ride it in a steady pace
Until you sight home
Then the true race begins
Heart pounding
A stitch in your side can't even stop you
Bearing down to push
Harder and faster
Quicker and more rapidly
As wild as the sea
Until you arrive
Where your kingdom is awaiting

Scales

Scales

Surrendering is easier when flesh is not rent

Hearts are harder to bargain

Pain is a price that’s harder to set

 Though it is a fairly active market

Time is valued as losses accrued

Wishes will be stored away

Scales are tipped to the side of the wooed

Love is saved for a rainy day
