The Princess

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.)
