Poem
In alcove of the palace on that night I felt the rush of pleasure and delight He pressed me to the wall and forced a kiss I nearly fainted as I tasted bliss The dark and handsome Prince of kingdom fair He ran his fingers through my raven hair And then he burned my mouth with hungry lips I felt the clutch of hands upon my hips I could not breath, all thought had taken flight He was of royal blood and noble height Pervading every dream, he’d ravished me And now each longing wish had come to be He whispered in my ear, “I’ll make you Queen! Though servant now you are, your slave I’ve been I’ve wanted you from moment you walked by You fill my life, oh darling of my eye!" And then he planted kiss on heaving breast His lips in need to be my bosom guest He pulled back then and looked into my eyes “The man who touches you, THAT man, he DIES! “No one will taste your nectar, none but I I’ll speak to Sultan; rules will change, I’ll try To take as wife a slave of common birth For there is none as fair upon this earth.” He crushed me to himself and walked away I waited for my Prince both night and day A summon came to speak to Sultan then “My son’s to wed, I’ll tell you where and when. I found for him a princess fair and bright Her skin is soft and supple, lily white She is my brother’s girl, his next of kin Forget him dear, his love for you is sin.” I wept that night as I walked to my door Constrained to take my life, the poison pour When soon my ears did hear the wondrous sound Of steed in haste, his hoofs pounding the ground He came to me and begged me to forgive My love he needed if he were to live He laid me on my bed and did implore “I have your soul, but now I beg for more.” By candle light the Prince made love to me I sighed, I cried, I died, he set me free! “Arise my love, let’s leave this cursed place You’re now my wife, oh girl of angel face.” To kingdom fair, we bade a last farewell My joy and rapture none but heart can tell We lived a life of love and sweet repose He was MY Prince and I his Passion Rose.
