DREAM PRINCE

DREAM PRINCE


Late night, rather, early dawn,
He tumbled up with me.
Snuggling up to him I asked:
What might your sweet name be?

All he said was darling mine,
I promise this to thee:
Every night in bed with you,
Without fail I will be.

Out of delightful frenzy,
I hugged him rather tight.
But, alas! He tried hard to
Get out with all his might.

How could I let him go so,
My hero, my treasure,
My beau charming, my dream prince,
My fountain of pleasure?

I clung to him and so begged:
“Why don’t you tell your name?
At least, let me see your face.
Why this one-sided game?

I have been waiting for you
With such a longing heart.
Let this be to our friendship,
A memorable start”.

As I waited for response
From my friend charming so,
All thought of love and romance,
From my mind did it go,

As at that blissful moment,
In the morning light dim,
I found crumpled atop me,
My pillow, and not him.
