Beggar Maid

Beggar Maid

King Cophetua married the beggar maid
Well I won't beg till I'm dead
How can you wed upon the vows, to obtain which you borrowed and begged?

Let me be a subtle thief instead
Steal away your heart on the sly
Breathe upon the wooden chest
Of hopes and dreams you thought were dead

Let me awaken the golden chords
Memories of a love you thought was faux
Let me the humbled wooer be
If beg I must- let me,
the sweetest beggar be

Your alms full well I shall  recompense
Your hearth can't hold such wealth immense
So accept my vagabond heart and show me your gossamer  soul
And you would have filled my begging bowl.

My love for you is a strange behold
It needs no more than words untold
I care nothing that I can't have your hand
That fathomless seas separate our lands
I don't need you to be mine.
My Darling, distance makes you divine.

Just own my thoughts
claim my restless soul
Call me yours
in words soft stronghold

Love god let me borrow
Joy from you and shed my sorrows
Rule my heart
For all our tomorrows.

I'm yours lay claim on me
Medium make me your lovely
Laughing poetry.
