The Princess Poem by Akhtar Jawad

The Princess

Rating: 5.0


In a luxurious shell,
An artificial paradise, a hell!
A soul with all comforts,
Imprisoned in the forts,
Where there were all things she desired,
Respected, titled and admired,
The soul needed the ancient wine
For a real existence with glittering shine,
The courage to have shine like Adam and Eve
So like her grandest parents she decided to leave
All the luxuries, titles and admirations
To come out in the world with only her passions
Much courage was needed for the revolt
Strong was the nut and stronger was the bolt
She threw her golden glittering crown
With nothing on her body not even the gown
She became a shining pearl and broke the shell
She was naked when she came out of the hell
A free bird, free to love even when flying, my sweet dove!
In the necklace, a real existence, kissing the breasts of love.
(With thanks to BBC
Love always wins.
Japan's Princess Ayako just gave up her royal status to marry the man she loves.)
