The Black Queen

Post by polycarp »

To the eye amiable

Is thy step and deed

But to the mind detestable

Is thy way and creed

Fair like a rose in bloom

When thou laugh or smile or sigh

Yet venomous like a viper thou art

To a heart captured by thy lie

A slave thou madest me

For giving thee my love and trust

Through labor rough and mean

In the tare-stocked vineyard of thy lust

No appreciator of my love

Only silver and gold are thy cares

For little means my heart to thee

Comparing not to thy wares

Be thou informed O’ black queen

That thy days of reign are like snow

Which in winter covereth the land

But in spring doth melt and away flow
A formula for tact: "Be brief politely, be aggressive smilingly, be emphatic pleasantly, be positive diplomatically, be right graciously".

This key

Which I hold in my right hand

Holds the answers to

All the world`s problems.

Does it?

I refuse to repeat myself!

Interesting poem.

Sounds like this "queen" was put on a massive pedestal. Was her main flaw not loving you back. I can see how that would hurt.
