Hint of the night. The Kingdom of Sun

Clocks went and days went by.
Hot Bloom was cunning one.
She did not let off Wind.
The Queen gave him nectar.
He drank. Nectar veiled mind.
His brain was blank indeed.

Just sadness filled his heart.
Cold Wind once jogged a cup.
Nectar had been spilled up.
The sticky nectar veil
was fading and Wind’s brain
had been indeed cleared up.

He saw the obvious cause
of his bad changes. He posed
to Bloom like did before.
She didn’t leave him on step.
He was completely caged.
There was no chance to go.

Bloom’s faithful countless slaves
kept eyes on Wind’s locations.
And Bloom was well informed.
What He was doing so
in case Wind tried to go
they hurried to report.

Wind whiled away his time
by reading books. One night
showed him the way to free.
It showed him on old pages
the poppy. Its nice smell
gave dreams like sleeping pills…
