Fallen Kingdom

Fallen Kingdom

Sitting upon my golden throne,
I feel the frost within my bones,
My 'Midas touch' has brought me gold,
But brought to ruins my mighty foal,
In which I rode into my glory,
And by my side it had no worry,
We struck the land with calm's embrace,
We took to riding with little haste,
My horse the spell and I the caster,
She was my beast and I her master
Now I'm a king, and she's the lost,
A golden horse I sold at cost,
One small touch and all was gone,
A simple pleasure gone so wrong,
Needed, wanted, sold and got,
My 'Midas touch' Didn't mean a lot

If you lose you're one true calling,
You will see a kingdom falling,
Crumble in its broken dreams,
Torn apart beneath the seams,
For even if you are a king,
You'll always miss the simplest thing...

    "If you lose you're one true calling,
    You will see a kingdom falling,
    Crumble in its broken dreams,
    Drowning in a wretched streams"

    ^ Those lines definately struck a chord in me. I really liked this poem! I get where you're going with your king and horse thing, too. Very nicely written. Keep it up!

    Take Care and God Bless,

    Very nicely done. Flowed well and the Midas imagery was especially fitting for our avaricious society.
    I don't think you needed to add the comment at the end. I found the meaning clear - although I do like classical references.
    Keep it up.
