I Should Have Said Nothing?, a poem.

I lived down stream
the king’s
damn,
and dreamed
that
it broke,
watching it
murder my
village.

It hurt,
that I didn’t
die with them.

Concerned,
I told my
wife laying
next to me.

“Blasphemy!
I will never
lay with you
again!”

And with that,
turned me over
to the night watch,

who beaten me
and gave me
to my cell
mates.

Brought before
the King told
my dream.

He banished me
from the realm.

Micheim, of
the House of Woo.

Learning how to be a better human being through poetry, prose and my journal. Still working on a better life in San Diego, CA..... Truth is, I am just another human among eight billion other folks on planet Earth. I've been told that my poetry is dark. I practice poetry.
