Julroyon

Lady of the Moonlight
My peasant Princess
With your unkempt hair-
Still ravishing
After all these hard years.
Eyes smiling with joy,
Humble,
Yet proud,
Content to help me
To work the soil
Though it hardens
Your once soft hands,
But not your heart.
Even when those hands
Carried our son
To his early rest
Still, your face beamed
And you sang,
Just as your image
Sings to me
Now.
What would I do
Without you,
My forever undiminished
Julroyon?
You are the reason
I still revere
The night.

Garapan, this is a very nice 'word portrait' from a photo inspiration.

I truly believed you could have loved her. Your  
light shines through this poem, even as Emerson said it would.

Garapan that is a very tender, poignant

poem, a little sad but so well written.

Thanks for sharing.

Possibly my favourite of all your poems that I have read, Brett.  I like the way you climb into the head of another - keep doing so, so that you can continue to develop it to the benefit of all around you.

Also, my favourite photo of all those you have written on.  She creates a Mona Lisa mood.
