A Courtesan

A sweet smile

Seducing words

A flawless visage

Radiant skin

A glamorous head of hair

--

A mind full of knowledge

Heart of gold

A love for only one

New lovers every night

A desire for ecstasy

I am but a courtesan

--

A hope for freedom

Shameful life

An impossible dream

Loved by men

A Hatred most fierce by wives

--

A disgrace in society

Sex for money

A claim for no one

Truly loved by one

A life they don’t understand

Because I am but a courtesan
