A/N: What can I say. I wish to steal you away my fair lady. Not as a man but as a woman with wisdom and glossy lips enough to kiss. Fair lady, may I offer you a ride in the comments. Maybe we could talk some more. You don’t need to pay a thing, it’s free. Fair lady. ♥️🤗🙏🏽

Shut my

Lips before they

Speak. Words with care caress

Thee. Evil queen ripened the

Apple

*

reddened

Cheeks, awakened

Hatred, breeds bitterness

Old folks indigenous to

Rancor

*

Fair lady, let me

Guide your anchor towards me

Fear the Queen, not men

*

Kiss my lips instead,

I’ll breathe life not nine to five

Sew threads into peace

*

Or make dreams, your own

Never slumber when night comes

Tired legs, sickness!

*

Tighten your corset

No homes for you to afford

Hate, tighter than thread

*

Hope will lead you home

My lady your beauty creeps

Into my wallet

*

Stealing my anger

But I will give you porridge

Until the queen comes

*

Then you will leave me

Into her whispering lips

Red cheeks no more hope
