I once was a King!
A King among men!
The whole World was mine,
I'd conquered it all.
Chambers of Sapphire,
Throne rooms of Gold.
Glass' of crystal,
Cutlery of the finest silver!
Legions upon Legions
To do me my will.
The very stars
were at my fingertips.
When I reached for embrace
I found naught but
the wind in my grasp.
The finest treasures,
Grand Estates;
Ruled by the man
with an empty heart.
Void
of any sense of love.
I'd found all of the answers
to all of life's riddles.
It seemed to me then
I would not need love.
A heart made of coal,
To rule all the World.
I defeated all enemies,
Vanquished all foes.
As I traveled afar
To see what I would see
I tread where Angels
Would often not go!
But how foolish was I,
This King of cold-hearts?
To think I needed not love
Within my riches
of Silver,
of Gold.
A half-wit indeed.
I once was a fool!
A fool among men...

Everything is just...Wow.
nice mat, very nice. I like the line "The very stars
were at my fingertips".
Hi, I sure hope you get this comment because I have "tagged" you to continue a storyline that we are all passing on to one another. I just finished writing my sentence and posted it to my blog so go there (if you wish to) and read the instructions. No pressure no worries if you don't want to but I picked you because I thought you could really put something together in a very creative talented way..I know you'll do great if you do decide to do it..:o)
Blessings,
Rhi
thats really really good.. amazing. I like reading your blogs.. cause there is always something new and different to read about it, i really liked this one a lot
Hi Celestial Void,
My name is Carol and I am a blogger
myself who is having fun being the conductor of the Friends of the
Friendless Marching Band. I choose a friendless site to feature every
Friendly Friday.
You have been nominated for the featured Friendless Site.
Being nominated as a friendless site only means that your blog
doesn't have many comments but someone has singled you out as being
worthy of more attention.
I hope you will come play along.
Carol
Hello. I`m here via Carol`s Friendly Friday feature. Reading your poetry reminds me of what the Preacher of Ecclesiastes wrote: Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher, vanity of vanities! All is vanity. Forgive me if I come off as preaching but, I`ve discovered that without God life is truly pointless and meaningless. What is the point? Again the Preacher writes: The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God, and keep His commandments; for this is the whole duty of man.
You have a thought provoking blog. Very interesting.
Hi Celestial Void,
I'm another member of Carol's band. I hope that you will continue to post and share your world of words with the world

Hello,
You are a little quiet, probably unsure how to take this frivolity which is in stark contrast to the weightiness of your feelings. I hope that you will continue in your honest quest and that as days go by and you heal from your hurt, you will continue in the depth that was started by it.
In the mean time, you might enjoy being a part of our band. All you have to do is leave a comment stating which instrument you would like to play and come visiting with us on Fridays.
BTW, your picture reminds me of Hamlet.
Are you "Still out there" Celestial Void?..hmmm..:o)
Well I hope your doing okay and well. Take care of yourself now.
Angel Blessings,
Rhiannon
I hope you will be back soon!
