Emperor

Consuming passion: hands gesture -
guilt-leaf golden patterns, grandeur -
condemning from his regal throne;
etched with kamon. His standard flown,
iron rule impressed a dynasty -
false traitors tortured, tyranny.
Whose fertile nature bore a sire,
who rests at peace upon a pyre.
Cinders remember reigns run through;
Chrysanthemums emerge anew.
