Come,Sweet Prince

Come,slake your thirst,
                            For I am the chalice from which you drink each night.
                                   I burn through your body like liquid fire,
                                           Travelling its fated course.

                                            Come,slake your hunger,
                                  For I am the delicacy set atop your table.
                                          A pearl upon its oyster bed,
                            Awaiting the ultimate discovery of being plucked-

                                      Yet ,stay your hand ,sweet prince,
                                        For I shall be savoured as such.

                                            Come,rest your tired bones,
                              For I am the feathered pillow beneath your head.
                      I am the satin sheets that slide against your skin each night
                        Caressing your every inch, stimulating your every nerve,

                                            Come,awake sweet prince,
                           For I am the ray of light that shines across your face.
                                      And every path your foot shall take,
                                                 Will be illuminated.

                                            So Come,sweet prince,
                                         For you shall never stumble.
