Ive planted some posies in a jar Kept safe in my fancy boudoir To place in my pocket as I travel far And mask the stench of my rotting scar
I color my body in a thousand shades Of these flowers to prepare for the promenades A fountain of people amongst the maids To be served and serve as lost jades
I dance the steps proclaimed With the slough of men famed And blend with all women tamed Reaking of the posies, my body inflamed
My soul screams for white wings Of the dove as he sings But as a marionette on strings I must listen to my given kings
So like the flowers adorn I'm the jewelry of this scorn A lie amidst the torn The princess never really born
