LOVE IN THE COURT

 

Once there lived

A noble prince

His heart naïve

His voice an air

His minds are pure

Is heart as young

His eyes as fair

As lonely with no friend

Light and weak

Scorned by his fellow peers

His hands are frail

But is heart a whale

 

Once, he stole away at dawn

To spy in the court

Of the queen

He hid behind a bunch of leaves

He watched, he hid

His eyes were seen

By an angel in disguise

She came with a tea

and made a slice

she leaves in his hands

 

He was caught in surprise

He asks if he could be seen

With ease

She affirmed

But her beauty was beyond

The thought of his heart

He smiled while lost

Lost in the court of love

He found his way to is night

Of dreams

His mind still raced

His heart pounding

He nursed his feelings

And watered his love

He thought to reveal it

But he knows not

He called his brother

He says

Am in love,

Her beauty like lightening

Her eyes

Are brightened

Her voice as soft

Her mind so young

I love the queen

A beauty she is

 

His brother feeling cold

Rebuked his love,

Your love a curse

Your feelings are false

Her heart is thus

With the king, our lord

Nay,

My brother

This is no good

The queen, like you mother

She a woman not a youth

Your love a rare breed

 

brother

I might be young

but my love as a flower

Fresh and pure

Strong and tall like a tower

I watched her serve

Her majesty, the queen

She served a tea

And fanned her hair

She shields her head

And holds her dress

 

My young brother

Your feelings am amazed

But your love for a maid

But how come you love the queen

 

True, my brother I love the queen

The maid that makes her tea

For I a noble prince

Could not have nursed a feeling

For a mere maid

My status a prince

How could I love a court maid?

 

With the thoughts of love

He made up is mind

To profess what he holds in his heart

He takes the time

To show is love

 

So he went to the meal

Of the king and queen

He ran so much

He runs like a thief

The king alarmed

Was quick to think

He punched his cheek

And was out of breath momentarily

 

He woke in pains

And profess is love

I am in love, my queen

your elegance so thick

Your eyes are wild

Like a honey

Your beauty so sweet

I love, my queen

Love flows like Nile

Through my veins

To my heart it flies

 from the bottom to the sky

it flows

through your lovely eyes

and glows

like the rainbow in the sky

 

my love, my queen

my eyes are blinded by love

with her lovely hands

your beauty

am in love with thee

 

the queen in surprise

was short of words

his brother right on time

to clears his words

my queen

think not of his words

his love for a maid

made him mad

his love a maze

I solved so hard

Forgive is trespass

His heart is tender

He shall feel remorse

As soon as he lies down


The queen obliged

To the maid

To clean is wound

He found a glimmer of delight

In the pains he went through

He told his love

But she cleared his mind

He professed with love

But she chose to decline

She refused his love

Living him with a bitter pain

He became a man

And he let are have her way

And watched is love

Married off

To the one she loves


A sacred pain

A deep scar

A true love

Living in his heart

Could a sorrow have been bigger

Will the pain last forever

A very long narrative write and I agree with Jacob that it is a very nice story but needs editing. Always read your poem before posting, tumi. That way any errors will be fixed and as Jacob said, your reader will have a smoother read and have to stop less often to edit what has been said. Good write! Thank you for sharing, tumi...

There is a really nice story here, but one of the most important things for poets is the words....
we are built around those...need to proofread this so that your reader will not have to stop so often
to edit...the idea will work well.
