Fiction : Chapter 1Chapter 1
Youth has a kingdom waiting for it. Everyone is born a king, and most people die in exile.
--Oscar Wilde
The sweet taste of laudanum still lingered on Daniel’s tongue. Even long after he had consumed the tincture he could taste it. As he sat up, his vision wavered in and out of shaky, dreamlike images. It took a few moments for everything to become clear again.
His eyes burned in the newfound light welcoming him back to reality. In his ears the melody of the ticking clock still rung from his hallucinatory dreams, mimicked by the golden pocket watch that lay open on his desk. He watched as the hands slipped past the hour,
PoetryChained to this present,
The powerless poet dreams-
Of a future without identical lines,
No two people falling together in rhyme.
Gambling with death,
Each love drifting away by the hour.
Urgently then...
Time is forged on shadowy grounds.
His brush teaching all that is true,
Reach to the precious verse written,
Her life and love will be poetry.
