My Lady by William Pratt

Your mane of flowing chestnut is quite soft

The luscious scent of which doth waft

It is like the untainted blood of a virgin

The torturing touch of your killing kiss

Nothing short of the devil's blooming bliss

My lady...

Lovelier than anything plant that dare grows

He wraps his oafish arms around you

I'll break the great tit's nose

Cracking punch of a haughty hand

Leaves a telling bruising brand

Of my undying love for a rose now thorned

Gash splaying across my forlorn face

He thinks I've been put in my lonesome place

But my lady...

You lick my sanguine wound

A succulent sensation against blanched skin

In my deepest dreams we are merrily marooned

The busted ship has sapid sailors for drink

Swirls of crimson ecstasy turn your bodice of ivory to pink

It is a vivid vision to be upheld

We are together in a hush of tarry and time

Every moment swells with the shimmering sublime

Oh, my lady!

The love in a dead heart that I have for thee

It brings a telltale throb and reminds the philandering prat

Your wafting wiles are only meant for an ill-fated me
