When the prince first stood naked before his new bride,
his disappointed was a little hard to hide.
Had he given all those red rubies
just to get these tiny little boobies?
Squire! Get the horses ready! We're going for a ride!"
When the princess first saw the prince's little wiener,
her pretty face betrayed an instant change in her demeanor.
She thought with a frown,
“This is a big step down.
I saw much bigger dicks when I was a teener.”
Oiled and preened
Plucked and tucked
Everything as it should, no
As they see it should be
Plied with cloths of gold
Piled high with gems and stones
Their shroud of protection being more like a weight of confinement.
Taking all your strength to place a single foot in front of the other.
None left to flee
None left to even turn away.
As they force me to take those last few steps
I now know what this was all for
Its not a lavish wedding, filled with drink and high spirits.
Its my wake as I am to be traded for lands and titles.
Why would they lie?
Did they not know I would sacrifice all, if just asked?
Then I see them, the one I am to be traded to.
Hollow eyes.
Stiff back.
Not a sign of a smile.
Yet gilded in gold and encrusted in jewels.
What thing did they sell me to?
Will I be tormented?
What must I do to be free?
I must be weak, I heard them say.
So weak that I’m looking for escape before it even begins.
But didn’t they know, the torment started the second they lied.
Tingling with excitement
the big day had arrived
Goosebumps on her arms
anticipating his charms
But he’d changed his mind
another he’d find
Flowed her jilted tears
~ she'd never shift gears
"beautifully arranged"
as we inhale and exhale each others desires
like a feather our love carries us through
lifting each other with winds of passion
time and again drawn like a magnet hold
apart hours move slow as our bodies cool
moments pass fast to the warmth of touch
from that one fine day of first encounters
life has changed and beautifully arranged

I know
another entry of romance
but why not (smile)
have a beautiful weekend everyone
thank you
The poor man calls at Halloween
with wretched teeth and bandaged gleam.
For naked truth to dariaged dream
of crimes gone by for so obscene.
That all man knows
that poor is funny
When all who beg
are lost for money
That crimes gone by
are things to change
When all that time
was fates arranged

Evil smirks are on the agenda
For you tonight my Dear
Ever so fortunate my beautiful face dims
The hatred burning across the dinner table
You're as dense as your guests
They look at me through your eyes
I am the luscious
Silver spoon men like you relentlessly
Pursue until you capture and kill us slowly
I concede, by marriage I'm your wife
So when these friends of yours inquire
About our consecration before God
After too much brandy and not enough tact
A blush rises and you feign modesty
Hemming and hawing
You out wait the women
So you can give them a detailed account of my very being
At night I turn my back to you
And imagine you are one of the men you betrayed me to

I cry for you nightly in my head.
For I lie next to my husband in our wedding bed.
All are calm
All are bright
All are good
All are yours
All are on
All are arranged
All are done
All you are
Love
Lord
spring showers
rejuvenate the land
in preparation for summer
when nature blooms
and the earths renewed
plants pollinated by insects
spawned for this one purpose
now propagate into the wind
to cover every inch of fertile land
fighting against formidable odds
their one chance to make their stand
natures blossoming
a grand stand
strengthening and stimulating
a variable bounty for animal and man
every color and texture imaginable
arranged by God's hand
The family was seeking my acceptance.
Dad told me, his family is very nice,
And he is reserved kind of person,
I was also delighted, he was quite smart.
The day came, he booked a carriage,
To pick me as a bride from the Church,
We had a round in the town and went off,
To attend a celebration, where it was arranged.
My dad presented me a brand new car as a gift,
After finishing the party, we had a honeymoon booked,
We were very happy for this arranged marriage,
My dreams came to touch my sleepy beauty.
I have seen a strange and burning body,
Flames were exciting me and my feelings,
Realised a peace song that was delivering,
A cool and I were nearly nearly exhausted.
When he came, he was a little drunk,
When he touched my body I melted as ice,
I thought, he will enjoy me whole night a sip,
I was strange as I was lying in a pool.
