My Pretty Damsel Poem by Andrus Cassian

My Pretty Damsel



My love of you runs deeper than color my damsel
sorry though I made you wait so long for my reply
but here I am to appreciate your beauty once more
If I could live inside this picture
I'd caress your legs graciously
as I steal a kiss from a diamond
Scarlett Jade, my emblem
how I wish we could run back to our tryst
back to our safe haven
These past infuriating days I needed your comfort
but I chose not to reach for you
for there lies not a good reason to reach across distances
just for you to be a heroine lasting a moment
even though moments are what we're made of
since it took but a moment for you to steal me with your eyes
a shade that would even strike Maleficent as fair
since it took but a moments for the eloquence of my words
to serenade your heart
My voice was not meant for lyrics nor speech
like a play gone wrong, I fumble over my own two feet
daring not to say
what would even cause all the deities in the universe
to laugh at my foolishness
but back to script my dear
For you, all I can give is but a moment
are words decorated with roses
or every flower in the known world you desire
the very rings of Saturn
the moon I plucked from Neptune
to create an outer space necklace
that captures your beauty, captures your essence
for you are surely stellar
And if I've said it once, I've said it a million times
I'd chase constellations to round them up in a cluster
and make the greatest thing in the world you ever loved
call it a gift for being an inspiration to me
What more can I say
I've written here a book for you three years long
and on every single entry
one thing has never changed
but I'll only wink to you, say adieu
cause you're a clever girl
and I know you'll figure it out
before the stars burn out tonight
My pretty damsel
my whole light, my diamond
My Scarlett Jade
the emblem of a cherry blossom
the emblem of...
