I Am the Poet of Love and Truth

I am the poet of love and truth from chimeras your soul I'll soothe. I shall reveal to thee the world's heart how it is perverse, corrupt and full of cark, And later I shall show thee a true paradise that exists in this degenerate world of lies, hidden to protect persons such as you. Your lilac dress graces the palaces of white roses You flitter to and fro, your long skirt swooshing forth with elegance. Across the dance hall's marble floor. Through the entrance you came greeted by the cheering crowds curtsy offered by true nobles and bows. Guarded you were by the greatest soldiers of this world, who by brave deeds into thy royal court they soared, gaining thy favor with honor and glory Oh thou daughter regent of the meadow fields.

The second stanza isn't romantic but rather mystical. The first stanza is about the nigh impossible illusion of poetic and cinematic love, hinting that real life love is completely different.
