Royal Wonder
Royal wonder
~~~~~~~~~~~
All bards in times of old
would vie to compose ballads
of her beauty and charm
and flowing tresses spun from gold
so tender and lovely
like the goddess Aphrodite
pure of beauty and love
sends my heart to the clouds
personification of grace
and gentle like the dove
a sweetness that sets her far above
all the other maidens near
a smile that sets my soul afire
my burning heart and reeling mind
consumed and awash in desire
no mere words could do justice
if I wrote from now to all time
there’s no way to express what I mean
but the light in her eyes
and the joy that it brings
makes me bow to this beautiful queen
