Have Your Way
Woman, greedy woman
Have your way
Call me your king
Whilst I remain your slave
And say my darling shall so come
And no quandaries shall remain
Not even my mothers' pest
Soon from the world corners
Would many come adorned in chosen laces
With rhyming threads and patterns
All and sundry shall converge
To Grace my very feast
Let tunic brews and palm wine dance
All to congratulate me at a glance
I shall be gaily dressed
And so have a union blessed
Those were your words
When sedately love was thriving
But woman have you no eyes
To unearth my persisting woes
I can't make a paltry meal
Nor have your tongue forever fed
So shall we proceed?
If this feast shall embellish your being
Or have a lifeless love engendered
Or bring prosperity, till my greed align with yours
