I SHALL DESIGN YOU A GOWN:



I shall design you a gown, to make you smile again,
So shed your drab rags, be naked & drop your pain,
Stand before your mirror, in the skin of your birth,
And I´ll design you a gown, to be sewn by good earth.

A bodice of laced-leaves shall be cleaved to your breast,
A hat of fine feathers I´ll place on your head, in red crest,
Sleeves, cascading down your white arms as silvery seas,
Stitched by bird´s beaks & pinned by stings of sweet bees.

Your skirts shall be floral, of blooms & honey-hued flowers,
All adorned with the sparkled kisses, of April’s soft showers,
Spiders shall weave you a long transparent & gossamer train,
And mantled in soft clouds, you shall be protected from pain.

So please give me a twirl, in your gown of soft golden suns,
And let go of your habits, those of sad & lonely dark nuns,
Now perfumed in air, in necklace of stars & moon in your eyes,
Off you go to the ball & dance, dance, dance, off to faraway skies.
