Rewrite:

         The Smiles of Wiles

I've dwelled upon relationships
Of those beneath my diadem.
On my vanity and the pain
The salt and pepper dusting them.

I've thought upon those inner prods
And the terrors and the tolls.
Judging my best those constant drives      
And the tortures and controls?

I've analyzed the lovely rose
The hazards of the thorns and stem.
The wondrous beauty of the bud
The dangers of collecting them.

I've pondered female parallels
Their lovely forms and altered states.
Swam the swirling impasse eddies
Over come their inebriate.

Yet still I've pricked a thorn or two
And bloodied often in the coup.

And in all the while
you left warm smiles
and lived a life
ignoring the bile

you took the stem
removed the thorn
oh we give thanks
for the day you were born!
