The night was cool and the moon shown bright
I had waited a lifetime for this night
To know my love and with her lay
Until the sunrise brought the day

Down the walk and up the stair
Expecting my love standing there
Instead, in shock, my eyes behold
Three other men at her threshold

Had I misjudged how she felt
What cruel joke had life just dealt
My anger rose and considered flight
But they’ll not win without a fight

Resigned for now to wait my turn
I pondered why my love she spurned
As one by one she bade them in
I’d never seen her so brazen

I decided then that she would pay
But what curse or words would I say
Searched I did, but found no clue
But she would know that we were through

Lastly the door opened to me
My mind feared what I might see
Enter did I, all filled with rage
To witness all three within a cage

Locked and bound and set away
I now knew not what to say
It seemed I’d come to the wrong place
The shock and anger seen on my face

This surely must be some grand mistake
Then she to me leaned and softly spake
“My foolish love, why angered you?”
“Can you not see what it is I do?”

“I captured these three and enslaved is true”
“To offer them up as a gift to you”
“Introductions needed for them and thee”
“My dear, meet Love and Hope and Destiny”
