Posed To Death

I feel a warm resistance Beneath the outer layer What once moved living organs Leaks through a thin veneer Blue blooded royal body Elegantly posed to death Not speaking prince now are you? Not breathing one more breath Just now the curtain's folding It falls and lies to rest So selfish royal brother You've loved your wife to death Your ways could not continue You'd rule with hateful hands I called you toward the staircase And I caused your violent end.
