FRIDAS SONNET Sing my praises, win my cases, Share my life in all its phases, Guide me through the darkest mazes, (And) help me find the sun Champion my cause, expunge my woes, Be the knight to mangle my foes, Shield me when the Northern wind blows And I come undone I want no one else to hold me Tell the eyes who would behold me (A) woman’s heart won’t change as men change their course (With) every breath you will recall me Speak my name, and ache to call me Hold yourself up better, knowing I’m yours Shoulder my weight, man my soul’s gate Be the king to master my fate, You’re the feast my senses await, Welcome to my side. Let yourself go, you and I know How passion burns and the flames grow, Drunk and daring, blazing and slow, Drunk and satisfied. I want no one else to hold me Tell the eyes who would behold me (A) woman’s heart won’t change as men change their course You’ll be sorry that you waste me, Hear my name and ache to taste me, Drink the wine of others, knowing I’m yours. Tell my fable: Silk and sable, Silver roof and golden gable, A mighty lady, one man able To bring her crashing down. (For) only one night, come, claim your right, Where else can you rise to this height? You’re my lord, you just as well might Come and wear your crown. |
