Say: I love you…
So, I may depose the neighbour of the Thames
And crown you in her place, queen
Over the remnants of sun and mist…

Buckingham Palace yearns for the music of coquetry
Unleashed, like the beating of my heart,
From the rhythm of your footsteps.
Your shoes, adorned with Sydney roses,
will conquer an empire no man has ever conquered.
And when they meet you,
London will erupt in cheers,
and be intoxicated with ecstasy.
Even the squirrels of Hyde Park
will abandon their nests,
to live in your radiant time.
-3-
Say: I love you…
So that the hands of Big Ben’s clock may dance
After a long period of mourning…
And announce before the guards of your palace
That the hour of my entering your presence has come.
