Surrender

A prince says goodbye to his princess

Your softness of pansies and sweet heather
shall capture the heart of any good prince.
Like the vines that entwine- always together;
love will flourish like a flowering quince.

Avow your heart 'n be open to take flight;
I set your pondering reluctance free.
Allowing this threshold to come to light-
forgive me my sweet princess; this I plea.

Place my love in the flowing rivulet
to trickle away, but with memories
- a cherished love I will never forget.
Break free of foretime and this reverie.

Alleviate your golden pools of weeping-
there is new love that you should be seeking.
