The Emperor's Wives
Deep, dark forest kingdomUnder banyan covered skiesLived a king with untold riches;Jewels, gold, and two fair wives.Both had hair as black as midnight,Coal-black eyes that sparkled bright,Terra-cotta skin as smooth as bronzeAnd tender movements like a sprite.Every night he indulged his fantasiesEnjoyed his wives and went to sleepAs he slept his wives kept secretsHolding hands under the sheets.Each dark day in this ancient palaceThe Emperor sat on his thrown of gold,while his young wives explored bright gardens.Eye met eyes and hands did hold.One hot night in the dead of summer,the emperor's wife say a look of love on her lovers face - toward their husband.Fires burned jealous, she lost her love.On hot night in the dead of summer,the Emporer's wife stold a magi's bladeand crept into her lovers chamberand as they slept her lovers slayed.
