My Fairest Beauty

Dedicated to my fiance.

My fairest beauty

Clothed in petals and silks

Laying amidst the dew laden blades

Beneath yonder willow tree

 

Her skin as pale as porcelain

With the faintest champagne blush

Her caress is warmth incarnate

Soft as a summers breeze

 

She is my gloried savior

Leading me through the tangled paths

Of my nearly broken mind

Soothing as the balm of Eros

 

Her eyes flash as diamonds

Laden with mischief

As she casts a playful smile

Uplifting my spirit with the merest glance

 

She is my fairest beauty

Clothed in petals and silks

Who lies amidst the dew laden blades

Beneath yonder willow tree.

such a beautiful description, i love the play of words. i love the line, "clothes in petals and silk" most, it can be a wonderfully innocent line, but it can also be provocative too. its lovely.

[SPINNING ON that dizzy ..]

Oh this is lovely - how sweetly you were inspired - she is a lucky lady! Again, your work gives such fresh and sweet images that just dance right around in your head once you've read it! Just beautiful. I love the nature images that just so nicely show the love and excitement of this poem.

Very pretty.

As lovely as a 'lived-happily-ever-after' kind of a fairy tale.

Thanks for sharing.

Wow really very beautiful. I enjoyed it

[Stacy A. Foster]

I enjoyed the bookended open and close. This reads as a great introduction for a romance novel. I really enjoyed this stanza:

Her eyes flash as diamonds
Laden with mischief
As she casts a playful smile
Uplifting my spirit with the merest glance

I can picture the smile, her eyes, and beyond...

Cheers,
Stacy
