The Other Room

I belong to you, And nobody else. Ages, I was bought with the price of your beauty That revels without any 'but' To gratify your will. Now I stand, a loyal fool Your devoted slave. I am condemned to bow Mornings at your gate. At your sanctuary will I worship Daily. In your tabernacle will I dwell To serve. Worship and adore. I have seen the other room The chamber of that mighty woman, Even the queen of Persia. I have beheld the other room. The inner place where she lays Oh, that fairest among women. I know that other room The secret place of that goddess Whose breasts tastes like honey. But no other place do I long to be. Neither paradise, nor hades Neither palace of mighty kings, Nor chambers of beauty queens. Neither company of mighty gods Nor the dwelling of mean men. Nay! No other room has my place For your very own room, I am doomed. Use me.
