Whore out the darkness, <br />Set it to dreams, <br />Fantasies stirring <br />In the distant gleam. <br /> <br />The swirling grayness <br />Become castle or moat <br />A princess needs saving; <br />A pirate's foul gloat, <br /> <br />A ring on fair finger, <br />Fine shackle of gold <br />Meant only for ladies, <br />In dungeons so old. <br /> <br />The fair sex fair game, <br />In the collector’s hoard; <br />Damsels on arms <br />Of great feudal lords. <br /> <br />The power of powers <br />Behind the throne room- <br />For he withholds their alms <br />When she holds back her boons.<br /><br />Patti Masterman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/power-of-powers/
