Queen of white sand,
Mother of rare beauty,
Queen to country,
Mother to me,
Since the day you ascended the throne.
When Father died you took his place,
And soon became
More of a queen than
A mother.
The times with us together were short
And grew slim.
Oh, how I missed you so
Since the day you ascended the throne.
I grew older and felt restless
As ever.
I became absorbed into swords and gambling,
Placing my life on luck.
Eventually I got fed up with
The royal life
And your motherly neglect,
So I took my blade and some gold
To start off as a mercenary,
Traveling far and wide,
Caring naught but gambling and luck.
Since the day you ascended the throne.
I didn't think I would see you again so soon,
I never thought the Jehanna palace would be attacked
And you life would at risk.
Was it fate or luck that brought be back
To my childhood home?
Was is destiny or merely coincidence
That I would see you again?
Since the day you ascended the throne.
I found you dying,
With only minutes to live.
You called out my name,
I only had to answer,
To tell you I was here.
You said you were sorry,
Sorry for not being a mother,
Sorry for not being there for me.
Sorry for it all.
Since the day you ascended the throne.
What could I say or do?
You laid there, dying
Asking for forgiveness of leaving me behind
Letting our family bond
Slip away into
Darkness.
I did the only thing I could.
I told you it was never your fault,
You were queen and had country to rule.
There was nothing you could do
To prevent the gap forming between us,
Since the day you ascended the throne.
Closing your eyes,
You bid me good-bye,
Saying you'll leave our country in my hands,
And govern it far better
Than you had done.
You laid dead,
Body surrounded in white sand.
Sinking to my knees,
Kneeling on the ground,
Weeping, oh so sorrowfully weeping,
For your death.
Since the day you ascended the throne.
How was this one? My last poem by the looks of it wasn't to popular so I hope this one does better. In other words…review, review, review!
