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.

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.

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

Cala, it's poems like this that make me feel you don't write enough. Thank you as always for sharing with us. It's wonderfully brilliant.
