Ecstasy
Echoes of raised voices
Once filled this vicinity
Presented by the trustworthy
Given away by the noble
The roaring of the tiger
With sparkle in his eyes
And the betrayal of the lady
Queen of condescending flare
Her valiant effort was destroyed
When given a scenario
Or maybe it was mishief
Stored away in her library
Nothing was lacking except compromise
Until mutual respect was compromised
Then silence fell down with them
As she fled from herself
And he scaled up to the mountain-top
Where he still sits like a kitten
With eyes like glazed doughnuts
Residing beside himself
