City with nine gates

The entrants to city are passing thro' the gates,
some quick, some slow in their pace and acts.
King is lamenting at the fate of his city,
with enemies at all nine gates vicinity.

The minister is witnessing king's wails
and sighting at the gates, sans veils
with  smile dancing on countenance
not a tinge of sorrow or fear of existence.

King in hurry gave orders, rang bells hard
summoning soldiers, assigning duties on aboard
Fearing all the time, sure of defeat
for this is not his usual slow beat.

He in agony called for minister to advice
in matters which are causes of great cowardice.

"Smile O King! at this entrants' face,
realize that you are beyond this farce.
Allow them with a smile joyous
and let them pass city without any war cries;"

"You are noncorrosive by this, O King
you are the pull and not a mere ting cog."

King smiled while aliens entered thro' nine gates
they tried a battle yet king gifted them roses,
Realizing their folly, went they away
in search of cities which can sway.

King was happy working with the mortar,
churning  love nectar  to each citizen and visitor.

Minister witness as he was, is and will
smiled at the king who passed the bill:
'Life is not a battle
life is love story subtle'

"After all the king is the ultimate ruler
and he has the choice of warrior or lover"
minister whispered to five winds caressing
"I am mere witness, always smiling."

The city of nine gates is beautiful.
the city with nine gates is purposeful
reigned  king supreme- all powerful
all citizens and visitors truly joyful.

Atop a hundred stories sat,
minister witnessing the sight.
