Bands of Gold

\nHis words could send her soaring or could tear her heart apart,
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Her kiss was all he needed to exist,
\nThe world had lain in waiting for their love affair to start
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 And now the two did nothing to resist.
\nThe Moon and stars were shining and the Northern Lights took hold,
\nThe moment that he captured her inside a band of gold.<\/p>\n
He led the Roman armies as she ruled the silver Nile,
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Her Cleopatran eyes inspired his dreams.
\nHe burned her on a bonfire for her arrogance and guile
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 But Joan of Arc could not descend to screams.
\nThey fought for ancient wisdom and for all the stories told,
\nAnd soon she held him captive in a fiery band of gold.<\/p>\n
She married him by proxy but she never bore his child,
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 He launched a thousand ships to own her lands;
\nHe perished in her shadow when reborn, so true and wild,
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 In ways that only Shakespeare understands.
\nAcross the stretch of aeons, as the universe grows cold,
\nThey’ll live within the prison of unbroken bands of gold.<\/p>\n
As George Sands to her Chopin or as Darby to his Joan,
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 They’ve lived as Romeo and Juliet.
\nIn Sagas from the Northlands and in texts sent from a phone,
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 They’re lovers that the World cannot forget.
\nSo kiss your perfect partner, She is all you need to hold,
\nThe rest of life is waiting wrapped inside a band of gold.<\/p>\n
