HOW CRUEL WILL YOU BE  ?      when the streets turn red  ,    when the sky cries    &    the ocean storms the land    /    when the dead wear the faces of the living    &    swallow the earth whole  ?    she  ,    tenderest goddess  ,    a figure that remains despite the flame                      (    is it you who will scorch me  ?    i think we are bound to ruin each other    )                       the hem of her garment    /     a trail of stardust in her wake  ----     how ethereal is she  ,    a glimmer of divinity  ,    a stray moon  -  beam sent to encircle you  .    her eyes catch the light in the dim room  ,    flowers blooming against the pink pallor of her cheek    /    an almost pained furrow to her brow as her fingertips find the groove in the wall                         (    steady now  ,    purest creation  ,    for you are forged in flowers    /    a drowned woman with water  -  logged lungs    )                       who will be the victor when it is all said and done  ?

❝    surely i don’t know what you mean  ,    my king  .    ❞                         her breath a summer’s gentle breeze  ;    bird song living on the tip of her tongue  ,    hues of blue    &    gold twisting to follow the sway of her body    /    she is a reckoning  ,    a call to motion  ----    a face that makes kings    &    kingdom’s fall

DEATH TOUCHED WOMAN  ,    GHOST MADE LIGHT  .    her tender eyes fall upon him like a star drowsily slipping towards earth    /    tumbling from the night sky’s warm arms  ----    swallowed by the ocean’s cold mouth                         (    you are all at once a spark of light    /    a flame burning the chill of my skin    /    a reckoning in human skin    )                       lips pull into a smile  ----    distant gaze cast aside  ,    the rose  -  hued queen  ,    with her heart so pure    &    her love so sweet  ;    surely you cannot see the way she is a borrowed shard of starlight  ?                          (    the moon weeps each night for her fallen daughter  ,    a shape stolen from the darkness  ,    she is bound to return to the heavens one day    )                      divinity a stain against her lovely cheek  ,    she walks in a slow march towards the open window                      ❝    you’re young still  ,    you would not believe the truth if i told you  .    ❞

secrets are made for the dark  ,    margaery  .    BUT HERE YOU STAND  ,    IN BURNING LIGHT    /    YOUR SOUL BARE    she is a hurried thing  ,    a rush of summer beating at the door  .    her breath haunted    &    heavy  ,    crystal eyes shut tightly                         ❝    the world is so cruel  ,    tommen  ,    you will learn this quickly  .    ❞

HOW FIERCELY DOES WINTER LIVE IN YOUR BONES  ?      lips tinted blue by snow drowned woods    /    the long summer’s yawning reach buried in her soul                         (    how i shall exude the spring  ----    tender blossoms spilling from my youth    /    rose petals left in the wake of my step    )                        i myself  ,    am a reckoning  .    a bone  -  weary war  ,    a battle forged woman    /    hidden  ,    tucked away  ,    held by the arms of the ocean    &    the flowers                          ❝    they call us the garden by the sea  ,    did you know that  ?    ❞                         home sprouts in the root of her being  ,    blooming through her veins                         (    salt  -  water ground between my molars  ,    i step into those roaring waves    &    let them carry me away    )                          margaery tyrell’s smile is tender  ,    but calculated  .    for she knows the woes of war  ,    and pain  ,    and loss  ----    and she is nothing if not her family’s protector    /    (    and though i do love you  ,    i see the smile of my brother in the ray’s of the sun  ,    and my mother’s tender eyes in the bloom of tulips  ;    you see how i would do anything for them  ?    )

she squints against the light  ,    gently pulling sansa along the worn garden path with her                         ❝    our waters are so clear  ,    that at night there’s a sea of stars  .    ❞                          delight paints her cheeks pink  ----    please allow me just this moment  ,    to be happy    &    kind  .

HOW FEROCIOUS IS A LION TO A ROSE  ?        tell me  ,    sweet knight    /    with the sun in your mouth    &    a halo in your hand  ,    how red do you bleed  ?                          her ancient eyes  ,    her doe  -  tender smile                      even death falls sweetly to it’s knees before the maiden                        (    starlight reflected in the blue of her eyes  ,    an ocean beating against the walls of her heart  ----    the multitudes in me  ,    the worlds that i part my mouth for    &    swallow whole    )                          GIRL  -  HOOD  ,    WITH ALL THE OCEANS INSIDE HER                         darkened brow furrows  ,    for a promise of peace is torn away by the bloodied maw he smiles with    /    ichor drenched  ,    lesser gods bow down to you  ----    don’t they  ?                          (    i am more than you expected  ,    i could drown you with the raise of my hand    /    put a star in your mouth    &    watch as the supernova burns you whole    )                         ❝    an old highgarden belief  ,    your grace  .    surely such notions make you think we are mad  .    ❞                         smile folded neatly against her face  ,    all nobility    &    enchantment  ----    all wonder    &    beauty  ,    is it any wonder kings bend knee before the motion of her love  ?

SWEET  -  VOICED MAIDEN  ,    WITH SUMMER IN HER HAND  .     wilted rose petals pressed to the palms of her hands    /    as if taken in some holy sacrament  ;    flowered wine poured down her lovely throat  .    a sigh wanders from her lips  ,    slowly  ,    as if the quiet steps of a battle worn woman hold no echo  ----     only ghosts  .    today  ,    she is tired of the war  .    of the lies    &    the ache  ,    of purple bruises    &    the color of blood on innocent hands                       (    today she is tired of the fighting    &    the fire  ,    of the greed that rots even her own heart    )                         drowned woman  ----    longing for the beckoning of waves    /    of pools of starlight  ,    of a moon that calls her home                            (    the moon held me in her womb  ,    weaned me on the death of suns  ,    and yet i am held in brutal hands    /    as if i am nothing more than a crushed flower    )

death’s tender maiden be stilled  ,    feel hymnals on your tongue like honey  ,    the slow droll of life’s ferocious teeth                        DO YOU THINK IT UNFAIR OF ME  ,    DAENERYS TARGARYEN  ,    TO LONG FOR HOME STILL  ?                         ❝    i miss the sea  .    ❞                         her voice quieted  ,    as if a shadow    /    as if a whisper  ,    a hope  ,    spoken to the night  .    weary eyes fall to the woman king  ----    her fire pale pallor  ,    her unspoken power like an ancient culling                        (    like a lamb to slaughter  ,    i would follow you to the ends of the earth    )                        ❝    i cannot go home  ,    can i  ?    ❞
