TO BE KING (KING FOR A DAY)

Standing next to you
I know what it means to be king.
The rest of the world falls away
and I am above it all,
All I can see is you.
Now I am a revolutionary general
and you are a Princess
from a ruritanian love story.

I can only dream
that I will continue to know
what it means to be king
every day.

Copyright ©2015 Ashi Shadow - 8/23/15 during trip for Arjun and Rupa's wedding, after hearing King for a Day by Thompson Twins.
Dedicated to Arjun and Rupa.
I considered "ruritanian novel" and also considered "the stars/heroes" from a ruritanian love story.
The general and Princess have liberated her country.
The ruritanian love story was not initially how I had intended to express the feeling.
A vast and empty fullness.
When I finally wrote it down was at table 5 after dinner.
I suppose I decided on the ruritanian bit because the revolutionary general ascribes a feeling of devotion of the author in regards to the other protagonist, and perhaps an idea that he regards her as more precious than himself.
