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
