the queen

i have named you queen

there are taller girls than you ,
taller,there are purer girls than you,
purer,there are lovelier girls than you,
lovelier.

but you are the queen

when you walk through the streets
no one recognizes you.

no one sees your crystal crown,no one looks
at the carpet of red gold
you tread as you pass,
the carpet that doesn't exist

and when you come in sight
all the rivers of my body sound,
the sky is shaken with bells,
and a hymn fills the world.

just you and i,
just you and i,my love,
can hear it
