The Queen
(For Jenny Poulakos)
I am the queen, make no mistake
I am the queen of my being
I have complete and utter control
over my soul, and my emotions
I am the queen and I expect
the best, to treat myself with no less
than disciplined respect
Make no mistake, I need no man
to tell me that I can, or I can do
that I can be, or to satisfy me
The Queen is capable of all that
On her own, she has her inner slaves
Worshipping, taking care of her body
Feeding, breeding her mind, body, soul
The Queen is happy on her own
A busy bee building her own castle
She Rules her own kingdom
And in matters of the heart
She falls in love, with herself
Hearts and hearts all round
And she won’t lift a finger
For anyone other than the King
That will sit idly by her side
And won’t run off and hide
Because she’s got no time to play
Please would you just go away!
I can’t be bothered with the game!
I just want to sleep
Watch a DVD
I don’t care if your on your knees
With a hundred diamonds rings
If you’re not the King for me
Then move on please
I have places to be
And a whole lot of time
To spend inside of me
And when her Greek parents
Say they have found a man for her
She tells them GO AWAY, God dammit
Don’t you see, I don’t need a man
I am a woman – W O M A N
I am the Queen, of my being
Here me, I am the Queen
I am my Queen

Beautiful and strong,
regal, never wrong,
your poetry a song,
reminding me, all
types of queens
can reign everlong!
