My King

I know not what the morn may bring But to this hope I cling, I cling Your loving voice to heart will bring The joy I need to take to wing Into your arms myself I’ll fling I’ll crown you now, the king, the king Into your soul my song I’ll sing With love to sooth and take the sting I'll proudly wear your signet ring And let you taste my spring, my spring I'll let you do most anything Attached to you is every string Eileen Manassian

The last line I would suggest "attached to me is every string" you talk about him controlling you so I think that word change adds more meaning. I haven't tried this form but i see you have mastered it.

Hi, Richard...this isn't a form, really. It's just a quatrain, but I felt like repeating the second line words....My dream of a new form in my name is still....out there. Richard...My dreams are still out there. :( Oh well...I don't want to get all misty eyed. Thanks for reading. I was playing with the No strings attached line....I will give you suggestion some thought. Thanks for caring about my work.

Magnificent movement within the mood of sharing Eileen. This is very beautiful love. What a King desires most is loyalty via love. You offer and provide everything a King must have, " With love to soothe and take the sting..." the last line of beauty, " Attached to you is every string..." Mmmmm.. so captivating. J.A.B.

Loyalty is a two way street, my dear Justin. Yes, every king deserves it....and so does every queen. Disloyalty makes a king a knave! If I were to know the king is true...I'd be a willing slave. Glad you loved this piece, Justin. Waiting to read from you.... :)

Thanks, JS. I'm please you passed by. It's a silly little thing, really, but I'm bored to death! Stuck at home...spinning my wheels with nowhere to go. Ah...life. Thanks for passing by.
