Queen Of My World Poem by Leah Ayliffe
Queen Of My World
I'm lost
A lost little girl
I once ruled my world
Queen of my mind
Dictator of my soul
A change in the wind
Knocked me off my throne
I'm falling in this nothingness
Trying to fly on wings of high hopes
But the sky keeps moving further away
And those diamonds in the Sky sparkle with lies
My jewels have rusted
Some stolen
The robbers slyly remove one piece of my heart at a time
Thieves in plain daylight
With every little beat I break a little more
Consumed in self sadness
Cause I used to be the best
I was me, I was me, i was whole and found
The treasures in my mind were safe and sound
I knew with great certainty that I had become completely free
Like I said
Queen
I've been dropped, broken and confused
So beat down I don't know how to get up
It's a movement of standing still
A relearning of how to be... how to be happy
A resurrection of the soul
The kindred spirit burned to ashes to be born again
I found the answers, the world was mine
To be taken away by a sudden change in time
Jokes on me, I knew nothing at all
I won the game and now I must start again
I have to go back
Go back to the beginning
And rebuild my kingdom
I'm not so sure it will be as good
But maybe it will be more
Maybe it will be a gorgeous tragedy
And I will be a better queen
Able to fight for a peaceful state
No matter the winds that blow
I must wake up
Get up
Show up
Dressed in all my lovely things
My mind has to offer
Daydreams can be molded out of dirt
The trees told me so
And so I will continue to flow like the river goes
Until I find the simple truth of being me
Of being queen of my world again
I'm going, but I will be found
Next to a glass of dark red wine.
Of being queen of my world again I'm going, but I will be found Next to a glass of dark red wine. An excellent poem where poet wants to go back in the past to search the truth to rebuild future.I enjoyed it.Well done Col Muhammad khalid Khan

You wrote this poem about nine months ago. It seems to me to be a poem which changes direction at least once if not twice as you think your way through it. The imagery remains consistent with the theme of being a Queen in your own perception of the world, but the real world experiences shaping the poem intrude and warp the imagery, changing its direction. That account for the raw energy of the poem AND its restlessness, its refusal to settle into a single line of development. These are observations, not negative criticism. This is part of the poetic space you have made your own to explore and exploit. That's the key: you colonize poetic space and shape it to your poetic ends. (If I tried to write something like this, I'd trip over the unfamiliar terrain, fall flat on my face, pick myself up and trip again.) To my mind, you put too much into one poem's frame, I sense two poems herein which would be more effective if separated accordingly. But I may read this tomorrow and think, WOW, there's a whole world here in all its diversity and contradiction! (You're the Queen, it's your world/poem to make as you see fit.)
