My Fair Maiden!

My Fair Maiden!

A Poem by Shalini Dinesh





































The old color faded arch

Looked even more dull on the
Gloomy summer evening,
With no one around nor the wind
That could cause ruckus and spoil
The scenic grace of such a lovely place…
 
There stands my maiden,
In her satin white wedding gown, so
Beautifully woven, to fit her
Perfectly carved figure,
With red-hot anger that slightly marred
Her recherché charm, will for sure cause no harm…
 
Her makeup and eye shadow
Complimented her ever splendid eyes,
The mask in her hand will no more be needed,
For eloping from her house had been successful,
Oh, I knew how furious she would be, for I have delayed
Leaving the fears apart, I should plan of how to safely depart.
 
 Make no noise, or galloping sound my silly bronco!
For it will alert my lady,
And spoil my secret admiration,
Oh, lady so fair, awesome and flawless,
My lovely gift ever from cupid,
Couldn’t stop but to love her more, to the depth of my heart’s core
 
From her behind, I shall sweep her feet
Hear her rebukes and even bear her kicks,
At last I shall kiss her lips,
Lock her words and know she’ll titter,
Will ride her to my wonderland
Keep her happy then ever, and her tears, oh there will be “NEVER”!

The details are very good. I love the way how it expresses love

"From her behind, I shall sweep her feet
Hear her rebukes and even bear her kicks,
At last I shall kiss her lips,
Lock her words and know she’ll titter,
Will ride her to my wonderland
Keep her happy then ever, and her tears, oh there will be “NEVER”!" My fav para :)

Very nice. This poem reminds me of Arthurian literature. I like the line, "There stands my maiden." Very classic.
