Poem - "Eternal Time"

[Staci]

Eternal Time

Nighttime;
Liquid moonbeams trickle downward
To illumine a fragrant path.
Swishes of silk and slaps of slippers
Disturb the peaceful way.

Alone time;
The young Queen with wise gaze
Wrings her slender hands.
Her crimson garb matches personality,
Passion for whom she awaits.

Delicate time;
From shadowed trees steps a man
In silver armor, black cape.
His arms encircle his Queen's waist
And lips seek her neck.

Precious time;
She gasps and sinks against him,
Pleased at his timely arrival.
She turns in his grasp and smiles
As fingers touch his face.

Required time;
"Betrothed," he whispers respectfully
And kneels to kiss her hand.
"What is your bidding, my Queen,"
He asks with upturned eyes.

Memorable time;
"Sweep me away, gentle Knight,
From the darkness of dusk.
Bring me into a peaceful world lit
By our beating hearts."

Cherished time;
Smiles brighten as he scoops her up
And off toward private alcove.
True love beckons their alike souls
To become but one.

Eternal time;
One faithful Knight and a regal Queen,
Destined lovers, mates forever.
Entwined together by heart strings
Forged of metal and silk.

I wrote this poem for my fiance quite a while ago - we refer to each others as "Knight" and "Queen". Hehehe - I hope everyone likes it!

Most impressive! That poem has excellent flow, and is very moving. You really put all your heart into it, that's what really matters. I give this poem two thumbs up. (I would give more but that's all I have, lol)

Also, is your fiance now your husband? ^_^

Nope, he's still just my fiance. We will be getting married September 12th, 2004, though. ^_^

How did you choose the date you set? I'm still considering dates for myself.

September 12th, 2003, is the day that my hunnie proposed to me. We thought it would be fitting to celebrate it the next year and every year after that by getting married on said date. ~_~

I love the poem!
I like the narrative style and the straight poetry flow (not metaphorical and stuff...can't sit for an hour to figure it out ^_^)
