Prince charming awaits her, soon to be her Knight in shining armor.
SHE NOW LAY NAKED
The spiral staircase made her high heels sing
Most elegantly, she danced from bottom to top
Pedals of roses Isled the hand scraped, oak wood floor that leads to his room
A hand woven, fringed carpet, with golden stair rods formed the way
Crystals from a hanging chandelier, rain bowed the doorway
She entered, full with the desire for love
She lustfully unbuttons her gown and slips out of her heels
His room windowed, with his bed beneath a canopy on his balcony
From here the city churches pierced the mist
Above the mist, two doves coo-cooing on a high wire
A row of lit lampposts lead to his king-size abode
Molded from clay, lion statues facing welcoming guests
The entry to his mansion, a replica of a Byzantine church door covered in vine
In the corner of his guest room, the harpist plays "Creatures of Prometheus"
Half beneath the satin sheets, she now lay naked
He closed it, and, now smiling, crossed the square
