A PRISONER OF LOVE

Mummy I met a girl

At my first glance my heart skipped a beat

My face flushed and my tummy churned

My speech became incoherent and all thoughts of purpose I abandoned

Except that I had to have her

Mummy I met a girl

A true embodiment of Venus

Golden wires cascade from her crown

Her face chiseled like Greek sculptures

Not just a girl but a lady

She is Clothed in beauty and grace adorns her

She wears favor like a diamond tiara 
A virtuous lady who can find?

No one, they say

But I already did

Mummy I met a girl

And she stole my heart

Call not upon the sentinels

neither the night guard

For I don't want it retrieved

For I'm now a prisoner

A prisoner in her dungeon of love
