The Portable Court Poisoner

The portable court poisoner Devises tactics while he waits for the queen A mouth of manners and a satin sheen She's bored, delighted by the wicked and sly It's darkest right before the wink of her eye So he slips her a different elixir to try A smile marks her reply To the portable court poisoner She smolders brighter than a rose is red A breadcrumb trail leads them right to his bed And it takes two, she don't mind Well, I'd bet you it was only a matter of time She pulls him down to her thigh Good night Potions, perfections You know tongues will talk Defeated knights lying Circled in chalk So how much discord has he sewn? It's hard to say, but me? I wouldn't leave her on her own With the portable court poisoner The portable court poisoner He doesn't know why he goes to extremes It's not important to her in her dreams Now there's connection while your back is turned And if it's smoking, well it must be burned So she slips him an invitation to sigh It's like she hopes it goes awry With the portable court poisoner He's deception level hall of fame And she's got plots that never wax or wane He's undone now and she melts him down One concoction away from the crown In due time Their silhouettes start to slide Good night Potions, perfections You know tongues will talk Defeated knights lying Circled in chalk Has no compunction to unravel the king Not if the royals such a broken thing Not if the kiss flashes right past the throne All the affections of a decade blown I know you trust him, but me? I wouldn't leave her on her own With the portable court poisoner The portable court poisoner He'll slip her riddles if he can She doesn't even have a plan It's as capricious as it sounds It's funny neither has a doubt Instead of sleeping on his couch Her robe slides, slips in beside, beguiles I think they might be awhile Good night
