He is not a king
He is not a king,
Not yet a prince,
And of no where a lord,
But, a simple Human being, with the good soul.
He is Odysseys without the witty Penelope,
He is a new Peron,
With no evita to make people at him frown.
Instead he has a girl to adore him,
No, no, no not adore him, but praise him.
To praise an odysseys with no crime,
To praise a Peron with no pride,
He is all of them but none,
He can be all but doesn’t want.
A monster at first sight, but at last an angel with no wings,
A tyrant they supposed him to be, at the end a kind with no power to be weird,
He lives in never land I thought,
Now I find him walking on the ground,
With me, side by side,
I look at him once again; he was not a king as well as my not being a queen,
I’m not an Evita for a Peron, I am not a Penelope for an odysseys,
But I can be a Mercutio for him and he can be one for me.
