My Siege

I am my own enemy

My Siege
By: G E L

The enemy I see
is that of myself.
A fleet of treachery I have commanded
to attack the peaceful bay of my heart.
My navies I have lulled to sleep
as my galley ships illuminate the sable sky
with orange flames of countless arrows
and thundering of exploding canons.
My sentries are ruined beneath my towers
while I the Chief General let down my draw bridge
"Come in and take siege my enemy," I say.
And I, my only enemy, pillage the beautiful country that is myself.
