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.
