the unending pain of their thirst

i came through tall

i did not fall

still standing upright

no end in sight

spiders still weave

so they can relieve

the unending pain of their thirst

forever are they cursed

and once ensnared

even the queen shall not be spared

for their poison is sweet

and full of deceit

king nothing i am

this is the only virtue i was given

and i can only hope to be forgiven

for all the pain i have caused

for all the breathes i paused

i awake in agony

with no one to blame but me

king nothing i am

forever to be condemned

but this too shall pass

these ugly feelings can not last

and nothing is so bad

that i will forever stay sad

the greatest beauty ever to be

she moves like sunshine

with all the potency of a fine wine

dreamy does not begin

to describe the feel of her skin

she is the angel queen forevermore

impossible to ignore

the greatest beauty ever to be

and for a time she choose me

now lost her love i declare

nevermore to return to this lair

still the pen marches on

for hope is never gone

have to wait and see

the bonds that tie us together

i miss you every day

in time that feeling will go away

to the back of my soul

until i am very very old

i love you forever and ever

never did i seek to sever

the bonds that tie us together

how was i to know you loved another

oh angel queen

our family had become routine

but still i hold to hope

i know that god's plan is so great in scope

an experience so unique

no mere words command the heart

wild and free from the start

angel queen till the end of being

of joan of arc i was dreaming

my wish was granted

i, a lucky fool that commanded

an experience so unique

that all others would be bleak

like watching the sunset dance on ocean waves

was how her beauty behaves

so simple and pure

the angel queen does endure

your way i bar not at all

oh angel queen

stop being so mean

you are free

as you wished to be

settle with me

i have only respect for thee

your way i bar not at all

but my fatherhood does call

the tether you fear

is the one to what i hold most dear

the bond between papi

and his little kiki and bebi

gloom and silent night

mornings stretch into days

days soon sways

into dinnertime

take a break save a dime

dusk comes next

gentle dancer twixt

gloom and silent night

crisper vapors to delight

night sits us down

televisions drown

bedtime is signaled by a yawn

for it all begins again at dawn
