Ugly Swan, Pretty Frog

I had wings that flopped here and there She had legs that spread in the air She jumped for joy each time I swooned Even I tripped all over by noon She would lick all my wounds away I the ugly swan would shyly play This beautiful frog with her heart on fire She heated the very essence of my desire My wings were clipped from early on If I tried to fly I only flipped and tumbled All the other swans did laugh So alone I was left to fend for myself She the frog, ever so kind She took all my pain right out of my mind So an impulse struck me from I don’t know where I kissed this frog, right then and there A princess appeared before my eyes She smiles and kisses me on the lips A miracle of sorts did transpire As we flew away on my wings of desire Note: Ancient Proverb: A Malaysian Swan never flies far before he drowns
