Queendom
You’ve a queendom by the reigns
Slaying beasts as need be slain
But even queens must slake their thirst
Dragon slaying’s thirsty work
Place your armour on the floor
You won’t need it where we’re for
This day’s assaults tonight ignore
This night, succumb, delight, adore
We’ll be safely in our hollow
Where the wild things cannot follow
There is nought you need do
Surrender to my care for you
I bid you cast off all reserve
I’ll give all that you deserve
Send a flare, I’ll storm the gates
And take control of what awaits
To us be bound and so set free
Bare your altar unto me
I claim its worship for my own
This night I shall rule your throne
Light my touch and let it go
Before behind between below
Heated breaths on embers’ glow
Ignite torrential inferno
Then at last we two are one
When the whole is more than sum
All that was just falls away
All except the song of waves
Earth doth move, doves doth cry
Loved and lover doth lock eyes
Hurtled forward t’ward demise
And die the death that doth revive
And so the ruler robes in tatters
Made slave to love and all such matters
Finds release in being lost
A secret flame to ward the frost
For a time crown cast aside
For a feeling felt astride
A moment she can call her own
When she again ascends her throne
