The Ever Young Widow .
A prince's queen of earthly ruins ,
Never allows her husband's prerogative ,
A society –marriage proves the barrage ,
And the chemistry fails to reap .
The wealthy darling ,
Would not expense a fur thing ,
And keep her treasure for the minion ,
With unrequited –wait ,she stands on the gate ,
And with no care defies the fate .
Love is dyed else where ,
Love is sought in love's blare ,
Neither consumption nor friction ,
Love floats in escape velocity's station .
