Painted Stripes Of Savagery, (Love Letters To A Lady Of Renown) Poem by Captain Cur

Painted Stripes Of Savagery, (Love Letters To A Lady Of Renown)



Masques of war, painted stripes of savagery
regardless of one's rank or expertise
these are the fertile fields in which I till
in trades in which I barter what I kill.
Dear Lady, loquacious in thy speech,
all must know it is thee to whom I speak
how insufferable will be my prize
if I am not the glory in thine eyes.
