There is a satin pillow
upon which I lay my head.
There is a shining moon
pouring milk up my bed.

My prince is a shadow
astride his headstrong steed.
He is steel and I am silk.
His lips are sweet as mead.

He bears a strong sword
to cleave my lusty lady-heart.
My prince, emboldened,
lets loose his Sologen dart.

Shadows of his sword
play up and down the wall.
A sight that would, ‘tis true,
a modest maiden quite enthrall.

Now, this, this is really smooth.

I, too, like the juxtaposition of silk and steel.  Write on.

Live for love. Without love, you don't live.
