I suppose I could list the women whom the muse had used

Mauled the ones who used in return

And little ole’ me in the middle feeling the expanse of circumstance

The illusion of reality

The falsehood of possibility

Will I always be a bitter slave?

There is no quit, but only submit

And they’re all lies

Eyes, poetic brides

Tis the work of a fool

Bounded by the boundless description of hinder like tales of suffering.

A queen to pardon his mortal sins

To rest his head

Take to bed

And demand the same from him

To demand and be demanded

One enchanting to the peasant

But also dependable and welcome as spring

To a would be king.
