a one-size-fits fit

adorns him as newly suited

so fine that it is sheer as he wears it

a royal obnouncement

strikes like bliksem in the dark

for flattery of the bureaucratic raddle

a circumstantial pomp

guard all behind the crimsonal

the tone of his voice and skin do not lie

a paradigm shifts

brittle and flaccid prancing

with insufficient fuel to feed my fire wild

a warmth we shared

subvert the raging heart of ours

the rules of law and order and morality

an honorable end

fights to live even in its deaths

the true cost of convenience is kNow1ng

a reliance on none

representation without a tax

demanding fear to gnaw on king's head

a test of gratitude

crowns desire with patience

for a time when thank you is not too late

a warped domain

uncleansed strength flows out

viewing a light where a light can't see in

a door open left

one step ahead misconception

overfished honor consuming with opulence

a last time again

no bedevilment to beset upon

light sees what itself is in waves of darkness
