Trois sur l'heure
(Three on the Hour)
Princess
Won't you come and play?
Down in the fields with your loyal slave.
Darling,
won't you sit with me?
At a silent table, sipping tea.
Lover
won't you lie with me?
In a bed of roses just for thee.
Sweetheart
won't you fly with me
into the night and over the sea?
Angel
may I hold you high?
Compare you to the summer sky?
Sugar
may I dress you bold
in gowns of silver and beads of gold?
Honey
may I bind you fast?
Keep you safe in a stone lined cell?
Forever
Can I ask that of you?
A promise sealed with a single word.
Always
Is that too long a time
to speak to you in verse and rhyme?
Reality
no more bonds to bind,
only happiness left to find.

love it
Yay Cala, it's wonderful! I lovelovelove it. A question, though: There's a rhyme to all the stanza thingies, except the "honey" and "forever" bits. Is it supposed to be that way, or am I missing something? Whatever the case, it's awesome.
nah. just a straight up poem I wrote during french. no underlying thinggies.
Well, it's good. Thanks.

Stunning. I love the way it becomes progressively more demanding, and the imagery is beautiful
