Fractal by fractal, my guard crumbles down.
My last defences may cause you to drown to a past tense.
My numbing cold burns fail to burn your ego.
Just as your efforts fail to work.
All that’s left to do is walk.
Walk into an unseen future.
Chip after chip. Break after break, my crown collapses.
Swish swosh. Drop after drop, my tears flood the oceans.
My fall signals the fall of all things moral.
Your toxicity run through my veins and coral.
Your actions melt my crown and burn my diaphragm.
Simultaneously you lost your breath as you ran.
Dethroned by her own people.
Was this the prophecy of a ruined kingdom?
Laid to wander like your nightmare’s phantom.
Could we turn back the sun dial to a time less vile?
Maybe forward to the future, perhaps hope sprung eternal.
If dreams could manifest into reality.
Dream catcher let your guard down.
Some dream for a better me
Let them dream, let them manifest.
Let them make this place better.
Till then the clock strikes close to terror.
Written with intent to raise awareness on our current climate crisis. Earth depicted as our queen, the melting ice glaciers represented by a melting crown. I hope this poem speaks to your heart as the facts speak to your mind. Let’s make this right or at least try to. Love and peace.
