Come, Sweet Prince...
Come, slake your thirst,
For I am the chalice from which you drink each night.
I burn through your body like liquid fire,
Travelling it's fated course...
Come, slake your hunger,
For I am the delicacy which is served upon your silver platter.
Set in front of you atop your table,
A pearl upon its oyster bed,
Awaiting the ultimate discovery of being plucked...
Yet,stay your hand ,sweet prince,
For I shall be savoured as such.
Come ,rest your tired bones,
For I am the feathered pillow beneath your head,
I am the satin sheets that slide against your skin each night,
Stimulating your every nerve,caressing your every inch...
Come ,awake,sweet prince,
For I am the ray of light that shines across your peaceful face,
So you may start each day with a slice of light that shines on every path you tread,
For every step your foot shall take will be illuminated...
So,come,sweet prince...
For you shall never stumble.
For I am the chalice from which you drink each night.
I burn through your body like liquid fire,
Travelling it's fated course...
Come, slake your hunger,
For I am the delicacy which is served upon your silver platter.
Set in front of you atop your table,
A pearl upon its oyster bed,
Awaiting the ultimate discovery of being plucked...
Yet,stay your hand ,sweet prince,
For I shall be savoured as such.
Come ,rest your tired bones,
For I am the feathered pillow beneath your head,
I am the satin sheets that slide against your skin each night,
Stimulating your every nerve,caressing your every inch...
Come ,awake,sweet prince,
For I am the ray of light that shines across your peaceful face,
So you may start each day with a slice of light that shines on every path you tread,
For every step your foot shall take will be illuminated...
So,come,sweet prince...
For you shall never stumble.
