Beguiled by his charms
I stood there dreaming
Feet on the mustard farms
I jolted screaming
.
A bite on my foot
Was enough to convey
The wiles in front of the truth
Felt higher in front of a krait
.
To those who wonder
Behold my tale
A decision turned blunder
By a woman, so frail.
.
A man so charming
Never seen in the realm
I mistook him for a king
Of my life, he took the helm.
.
Then began the days
Of misery, murk and gloom
He and his mistress found ways,
to make my life doom.
.
Back to the present
My thoughts subside
A mind filled with resent
Shattered from inside.
.
Ambushed by the ones I trusted
The universe taught me a lesson
For the people whom I adjusted,
were the ones convicted of treason.
.
Years passed, I survived
The guilt of believing
Now at a position so high
Above than that of a king
.
Destiny gave me a final chance
To prove my worth to the world
The universe is a greedy trance
The hurdles just swirled
.
Taking a step back
I reminisced my treacherous past
The time to divert the flak
To the people who look aghast.
.
With a voice now I stand
The world at my feet
An empire now to expand
Cheers permeate the street.
.
A queen now reigns
Greeting her people as her own
The once bounded by chains
Has now ascended the throne.
.
A woman can and will
Forge ahead in fields she desire
Sometimes sway sometimes still
Sometimes like a raging fire.
