What awaits you there? "Of Kings and Queens" What a magnificent poem you have crafted here to a equally fantastic artwork. I, a very humble poet can but dream od such prestige. Well done.

This was awesome, and creepy. I love the photo and music accompaniment.
You may enter, but cannot leave, bemoan your life, seek to bequeath
some simple knowledge hiding there - still, if you do - not one will care.
That was my favorite. Thanks for sharing!

This is so well done. Where did you find your muse, I must wonder? You are so gifted and so deserving of every six I have, but since you are exceptional, I will save for some poor chap who doesn't get any.
You are totally exceptional in your writing skills. I hope you are young enough to see your talent bring you much joy and happiness. You're the best.

Wow! It's far and few between when I can be stumped by a new word! (belletristic - concerning ancient culture :-) Cool! I learned a new word!! LOL
Now, as to the poem - wow again!
Great maintenance of meter and rhyme scheme. You kept me totally "in the moment" - one would almost say hypnotized :-)
A small pause on The moon could ne'er shine as brightly, whilst Luna looms above us nightly, while I contemplated the question of sameness. . .then I remembered The Moon is called Luna as a symbolic pairing/honorific :-)
Nicely done Dean :-)

Wow! This is a great poem! I especially like the rhyming scheme and the use of personification. The rhythm was nicely done as well. Great job!

Indeed, pleasant dreams are almost impossible after this, and only fear and nightmares present themselves as fickle friends to play havoc with fraught nerves! Giddy

This captures the inevitability of life and death as we wander in search of that elusive magic but find deathly gloom and the dark demons with their cups overflowing with sin. The music in its ceaseless march creates that atmosphere of a wandering lost soul. This is my interpretation. Well done, Dean.

Beautifully written no doubt. Much to ponder here. The first thing that came to mind was that "death is the great equalizer." King/queen or slave/pauper and everyone in-between, regardless of what you possess, be it goods or talent, in the end it won't do us much good unless it was used to do good for others. The second thought that came to mind was how intriguing the macabre can be, how much of an in-depth delight or thought provoking medium it can be. Excellent piece.

A picture is worth a thousand words, yet, as if we needed further guidance, you took us down the corridor of life and death, showing/telling riches/gain is all for naught. How silly we look in such a state. How vain. How revealing your poem. Loren

I like the way this poem flows. It also speaks to me of a dark fairie land. The music you chose as background is haunting and compliments the poem. Good job!
