Tangled Heroine

You want a poem my dear damsel abruptly I start this off beat for you still after all these illustrious years turn my heart into a robotic puppy I curl up next to your feet wanting to be petted to be warmed, to be loved you neither kick nor scream or show affection there you sit upon your throne an elegant, graceful queen busy up to your knees in royal technicalities when you'd rather be out on a boat in open water, going 80 mph the sun setting with the wind in your hair a majestic view for a cool calm day to forget the stress, the decay of the mess attacking the doorsteps of your inner fortress You want a poem my tangled heroine upon a knee I'd give you a ring for a fairytale dream to make believe twirl your hair once upon a finger as your small pink lips present a smile the sun would be jealous of for you bright up the night, the day you bright up my world, what else could I possibly say you're amazing there's not a star in the sky I haven't wished upon to let you here me say I'm here for you always You want a poem, is that what you said precious Scarlett do you want an array of calculated words to describe your beauty or is that a cliche I should put away for a rainy day Would you like a careful depicted letter of how I missed you your whimsical laugh, your spontaneous demeanor or to put it simply the blessing of your presence Answer me this, I beg of you, I ask of you would you permit this night a carefully construed romantic pledge I'd cascade into your everglades a visual portrait to appease the goddess in your eyes or would you just be comfortable with a silent movie filled with mystic lullabies, no goodbyes, long sighs a hug for old times My dear love kiss me swiftly, sweetly, strongly, would you please I've missed the way your eyes used to stare at me, glare at me miles and miles, right? I could channel my inner Beatles, grow a strawberry field tell the whole world that we've met ever since I've met you I've been fallen and I just let it be the only words of wisdom I could muster let it be You wanted a poem my pretty damsel, my dear Scarlett you wanted a poem dear love I want a victory, tell me do you miss me? You wanted a poem fair lass can we make at least this night last You wanted a poem beautiful one you are my only tangled heroine You wanted a poem graceful queen does this suffice?
