Fourteen lines with ending couplet, and yet sonnet it's not!
For the rhyme scheme is a strange ABCDEF ABCDEF GG.
And there's no iambic pentameter as Shakespeare did decree.
But nonetheless it gives thee something that simply can't be bought.
For it contains without doubt or shame, my undying love for you
And my hope and prayer that we will marry - we two.

If every secret were a prince and each wish a maiden fair,
Then I'd have a handsome prince with a lovely lady by his side.
For of all the secrets in the world, I've but one to call my own,
And my only wish is that my secret forever would be mine.
A lord and a lady with hands entwined, and never could they part.
And surely if you watched for long, you'd see them gently kiss.

Indeed the two would be as one; inseparable - a Siamese pair.
You see, my secret is my love for you; my wish a princess bride.
Had I a castle with drawbridge and moat and large bejeweled throne,
It would be but a prison for my heart unless also, it were thine.
For just as the sun rules the earth, so too you rule my heart.
And castle or shack, if you loved me, then life could be but bliss.

Secret I have, but prince I'm not. Yet say the word with heart-felt smile,
And from today into forever would our love grow all the while.
