Poetry #1: Queen

Hi Guys. I write quite a bit of "poetry", I put this in quotes because I hesitate to call what I write such a thing, but for the sake of correctness let's continue with it. I believe I'll do this installment when I feel like it, and each segment will have a theme. As you can tell from the title with the theme of this installment will be queens. Enjoy.

Queen of Worlds

Queen of Nothing: At least that is what they tell me. Scream it until echos across the stone. A tempo I am forced to believe. 

Queen of Death: I've heard them whisper, their fear permeating the air. Why would they fear me if I am nothing?

Queen of Love: I've heard them claim myths were written about my love. 'It toppled empires' they whisper, but I can hear them. Love is a concept I have long since forgotten. 

Queen of Fire: They yell as I exit my prison, my steps falling heavy. I feel the fire they speak of as I open my parched mouth. 

Queen of Monsters: Of all the things they have claimed of me this surprises me the least. I feel like a monster as I take back my throne. 

Queen of Mercy: I forgive them their sins as I take back my kingdom. It is not my place to punish them. 

Queen of Stupidity: Words whispered by an enemy who shoves their dagger deeper into my back. I smile, knowing they have already lost. 

Queen of Bone: My followers scream as I pass, cheering. I do not deserve their praise. My crown is made of bone, I do not wish to wear it. I have had no choice. 

Queen of Worry: I watch as my children go to battle, wearing this title with pride. No one can claim I have no heart. I have fought our battles until the wicked end. 

Queen of Life: Ironic they choose this name so close to the end. I have no time to embrace such things any longer. 

Queen Eternal: I can hear their cries at my death. 'Do not leave us'. My parting words are of love. 'I will return'.

Lost Queen

I wonder what they will say, when they learn what they have truly lost? 

Their Queen will soon be dead, do they wonder where she is? 

Lost in seas they will never find. 

She can no longer protect them. 

I wonder when they will realize she planned to die?

That she did not want to stay with them. 

She hated her life. 

I wonder when she will figure out what she left behind? 

That she already had what she searched for. 

Will they mourn or rejoice? 

I wonder what her final thoughts were? 

Regret or Peace?
