There is nothing-
nothing left
even thought of
you inept
a feast of bankrupt
for the king
I tried to think
of everything
all my labors
for your sup
the finest wine
to fill your cup
the grandest silks
I did adorn
a curtsey--practiced
in the morn
before the pond
while at its still
while sun was rising
in full shill...

I hear the horses,
sweet drum beat,
bass, in pound,
passing--fleet...
and in dismay
upon my feet
are the tears
of you, un-meet.

So the parade,
it passed me by...
the tears in sting--
a cheek's mapped sighs,
always I will
wonder why
I did not catch
the sweet king's eye...

me thinks the king needs glasses  
me thinks you are working these metaphors to poetic perfection ...
me thinks they way you rhyme in tears and sighs is poety in motion...
me thinks me is a fan
me

I thank you all much, but you DO see what I mean? Kinda dusty here.... Again, I do thank you all. Just a bad day. My mood ring is black. My horoscope said, "go back to bed" and I don't even have a bed.
My biorhythms? Forget 'em! Off the chart.  
Somebody? Quick, kiss me! Make me smile!  
oooh...that almost worked.... *pouting, me*
