The Princess And Me

The Princess And Me

A Poem by C.R.Turner
"

Sorry, you might need a bucket for this.. :)

"
Eyes down, look away, say nothing.
An absurd mistake has been made...

I am sitting here in a pub - having lunch with a Princess!
Talking as equals -
laughing and joking,
staring deep into her dark green eyes.

My hand, touching hers,
my heart, bulging.

I am touching her hair,
playing it with my fingers,
caressing the curve of her face,
looking down at her smiling mouth,
just as she is looking down at mine,
chatting and laughing -
alone in the crowded room.

Her hand is touching mine,
caressing me as she recounts
another tale from her charmed life...

I'm afraid to look around.
Why has nobody noticed?

Has she perhaps escaped her castle
on some childish, aristocratic dare
to fraternise among commoners?
If so, what on Earth does she see in me?

How long before the cover is blown,
the footmen called,
and I am once again consigned to the dungeon,
and she to her tower?

Or maybe - just maybe,
the gods have actually made some clerical error,
too wrapped up in their game of galactic golf,
and I might actually have a chance with her????

Sounds like a low murmur on beauty and the beast. If not a fairy tale, then the message should be 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'...people see different things in us, sometimes even past our awkward outside appearances. Enjoyable read.
