KINGS TO TALK TO QUEENS



Kings to talk to queens,
and when they do,
they will tell them
how it was to be a prince
in foreign land.

Queens to talk to kings,
and fair princesses
will have their long hair behind them,
and tied in bows and roses
and all the beauteous things that made them desirable.

They will love each other then,
and realize, that growing up
was what they missed seeing in each other
and they are the shell 
of earlier times.

What they would not give to see each other young,
and shower kisses
on each other's necks and navels,
and love until the dawn came up
over Africa's horizon.

**********************************************

Note - I put a comma after 'realize' as I wanted the line to
have the inflection that accorded.
