Queens
It was February and the air was cold,
It was late at night
My mum said to be back for nine.
But boy was she in for a fright.
Our hands interlocked
As we ran along the sand.
And we talked about how we were
The Queens of a fantasy land.
The crazy things we talked about
As midnight came around,
We lay in silence
With the sea being the only sound.
We talked about a future
Promised to always be with one another
Even though we knew that
No one supported us together
But then the sirens started
And our story got a twist.
I didn’t expect to fall,
To fall into the mist.
Who knew that running with you,
Running with thrill.
Being in love,
Was so deadly, it could kill.
It was February and the air was cold,
It was late at night
And I took my last breath,
After such a wonderful night.
Our hands interlocked,
As my eyes closed on the sand.
I’ll see you soon my love when
We are Queens of a fantasy land

Queens
They see me stumble.
They see me rumble.
And fumble with words.
Some make sense.
Some have no sense.
All the while I pile.
On, with all of you.
In this other verse.
Of discourse.
Rhyming with no rythmic burn.
Let have a go again.
They see me stutter.
And are flattered.
They know they getting to me.
Like only queens can do.

When
When people ask me how would I describe myself
I am an average diamond
That has been encased in coal
Flawed to some and perfect for the rest
I am an illusion
A figment of some men's imagination
For when I leave their presence
They can't find a replacement of my caliber
I am a lioness
I will silently stalk my prey
Waiting for the right moment
Just to pounce and devour those tiny morsels
I am a visionary
I see things before they happen
I work to create and bring to fruition
I never take no for an answer
I am a woman
Full of joy unless angered
Full of sadness until I find peace
©sista_alia10 0 2Kill This Love
Feeling like a sinner , it's so fire
With him I go boo-hoo..
He said you look crazy ,
Thank you baby ,
I owe it all to you.
Got me all messed up,
His love is my favorite
But you plus me ,
Sadly can be dangerous.16 9-

Wanna Trade?
You dare talk to me about choice!
Have you ever had to silence your voice ?
Do you know what its like to have the fate of a world balance under the weight of your every decision?
Oh I see, you think your special because of those tummy incisions.
Queens are born,kings are made
You sit there on that high throne but what price have you paid?
What demons have you slain?
Yeah yeah you went through birthing pain.
Can you even begin to fathom what it feels like to have to earn your place?
No of course not, you just cry when your promiscuity leads to disgrace.

Forget
Mad king, his heart of stone,
Wearing tender flowers
On his sleeve, look I found
The flowers in wreaths
At the graves of those he
Had proclaimed to love,
Wicked king, his greed for
The throne, carrying little
Skeletons in coffins, where
His spine should be, look
How he stands tall, he never
Looks back, for that is where I
Stand, I scream but my voice
Drowns in the gaiety of his new
Feast, I look on, as he drinks
Himself into ecstasy, feeding
Off of yet another vessel of
Innocence, he dances in the
Arms of power, in that same
Palace, that was my home, once
Upon a time, and I silently lurk
In the corners, like a daughter
Of the netherworld, watching
History write me out; who cares,
For the faded glory of the conquered,
When a new sun sets their horizon
Ablaze, in a new world, built upon
The ruins of my empire, I still have
A place, I'm the ghost whose presence
My conquerors would never forget.

Royal
Grandiose in appearance stands the monument tall
On the banks of a river is the impressive heritage site falls
Renowned it's known for as
the epitome of love
A promise token and worthy architecture structure was all he bestowed
The emperor claimed himself monarch after a grueling war
His commanding tone was known by all; near and far
The queen asked for a promise, refrain from marriage again
Build a mausoleum, such beautiful that no one will construct the same
The superior couldn't just let go off his dying queen's last wish
A fourteenth child bearing lady made this simple that all would cherish
The monument construction took almost two decades
Limbs of labourers were chopped off to maintain the style's grace
Fountains and garden, marble dome and towers adorn the place
Exquisite and a living historical structure, it's an opportunity to see
it in actual space
Verses and carvings inscribed, red sandstone also there, visit here for sure to recharge
You will be mesmerised by the illustrious monument and say 'Waah Taj'

THIS CHALLENGE IS CLOSED
Recently, the pandemic has offered me the perfect opportunity to binge watch my favorite Netflix series called "Reign." It's a semi-factual portrayal of the life of Queen Mary of Scotland, set in the 16th century. As one would expect, it features all sorts of royals, monarchs, noblemen and women, ladies in waiting, knaves and knights, courtesans, peasants, villains and villagers, friends and foes, the occasional mystic or seer, and even a swashbuckling pirate or two. There's romance, mystery, mayhem, intrigue, luxury, wealth, splendor, poverty and one gripping cliffhanger after another. Now before you go telling me that I'm addicted, I'd like to point out that I'm already well aware of that, thank you! Ahem... Anywhooo, my appreciation for the show led me to an idea for a challenge. Rules to follow.
In 40 lines or LESS (BUT NOT MORE) write an exciting, entertaining, poetic tale about royals/monarchs (including kings, queens, princes, princesses, and any of those other folks I mentioned above). It doesn't have to be factual, but can be if you prefer. I'll provide a suitable word list below that you're welcome to utilize which is optional, not mandatory. Submissions must be penned in English because it's the only language I'm completely fluent in. No foul language or inappropriate images, and absolutely positively NO plagiarism.
OPTIONAL WORDS TO USE: Please check definitions for proper use.
Aristocratic Imperial Imposing
Dignified Magnificent Impressive
Illustrious Noble Kingly Stately
Grandiose Lofty Majestic Queenly
Highborn Regal Ruling Regnant
Honorable Sovereign Reigning
Superior Renowned Worthy
Resplendent Authoritative Baronial
Supreme Commanding Eminent Princely ...
MANDATORY HASHTAG: Please use #cees_royals in your caption area so that I can find your submission.
DURATION: The challenge will be open for 24 hours from the time it's posted. Once it says "1d" in the upper right hand corner of this post, the challenge has ended. Do not submit beyond that point.
*Please support your fellow participants by checking out their submissions.
If you're still with me down here, congratulations! You are one of the participants that I won't be frustrated with! Woot!!
As always, happy writing! ✍

232 68 58- luvnotes_challenge_host @fiercely_lit I had a feeling that it might not quite measure up, since it doesn't focus exclusively on Vikings; but perhaps it'll be a good temporary distraction.

It's the perfect suggestion, thanks When you Hulu those Vikings you will see what I mean by the opening scene you'll... see thunder storming the dawning twilight, breaking skies as the raven flies over kills laid upon the hills of these raided lands: seized, by bloodshed hands of he - whomever, still stands.
lol. Keep in touch - luvnotes_challenge_host @fiercely_lit Sounds awesome! I'll be looking forward to it, thank you. ♥️
- luvnotes_challenge_host @fiercely_lit Hey, I wanted to mention that I'm about 5 episodes in to the first season of Vikings. Really loving it!
- fiercely_lit Hey C Omg that is awesome, awesome news! I am with you all the way, it'll hold a special place in your heart, & has some little funny bits too hehe xx

Between chaos and darkness you left,
I kept waiting for you in this mess.
What did you think? I'd sit forever,
I'm a queen, on with my endeavor.
A queen never folds,
An endless future beholds.
Shall you return some day,
I left a place for you to stay.
Even in darkness I saved you light,
Take your seat and watch by the night.
My farewell to you I part,
Forever I'll leave you in the dark.

Not Ashamed!!
We are all walking balls of fire fortified
by a strength far deeper that any of that surface level shit.
Do not be ashamed of all that
makes you a Woman!
My body creates life. My spirit
produces life. My story inspires life.
I am not ashamed of all that
makes me a Woman!

Urban Royalty
Street kings and queens
Loyalists and armies follow
Battles over territories
Street corner kingdoms
9mm preferred
Royalty roll in
The bass trumpets
Allegiances bought
Treaties by words
Broken by blood
Long live the royals.

QUEENS
Even Queens grovel on their knees for their husbands
©danielpobz4 0Reign
He kissed my lips and took my heart
I knew it from the start
That I was in love
But when a girl falls in love she is a fickle thing
Wanting nothing more but to be under his wing
But his lips deceived me, his hands painted red
With dead roses falling from his head
I loved him and thought he loved me
But my eyes were filled with tears and it mad my heart bleed
He'd buried it deep
Promises that he'd never keep
He took my innocence and ran like hell
Deep down a wishing well
Now he's wishing he'd never deceived me
For now his heart bleeds
Because I am the one that can see
See a future without him
I've given my heart to so many
Who assumed I needed a king to reign
But deep down I've turned my power into pain so long may I reign
