please do kiss me maiden of the milk ............................................ for I am a frog prince again



The Enchanted Prince 
Maxfield Parrish ©




in a principality of pugnacious tug-o-war 
I was born, another precocious son of village lore  

pauper now am begged alms please give to thee 
what have you, in your eyes besides ugly me 

am I repugnant or something you secret away 
have you something else to do with the rest of your day 

perhaps I could be rabbit you, wish loosened 
portico held goats, chickens and a goose in 

wing spread chase of flies and spies off your small farm 
I give you my crown, found I still need one arm 

to reach and receive what is past our sight and believed 
for I could be the love you seek if braving past grieved

  4. This reminds me of something I once wrote..

    I would fall from heaven's grace
    to touch the lines of your face
    loving you, it is not I who sin
    it was my heart that let you in
    perhaps, a secret well guarded
    shards of poetic words bombarded
    under the span of an oak crown
    in your seductive words I drown
