Hacienda del sol  Watercolor by Poetess

Hacienda Del Sol

The sun is overjoyed
 reaching its zenith
suspending in cloudless sapphire skies
 in a scarlet lit horizon
its solar sheen is veiled,
beyond the handsome hacienda
 hidden from ancient alibis     
a time of musings I can’t resist 
 I paint a likeness of her, 
wistful watercolor bursts 
 highlights by brushed strokes
gently caressing her skin, she wears
an unrestrained ear to ear grin  
 recherché, warmth rare
as a  ruby red stone
a sonorous soprano’s tone 
 ravened tresses cascade unruly
copious tangled locks flow wild
 within stirs the silver stars, 
she perceives the wisdom in the callow 
 & indelible in the wise
youths’ oval ebony, &soulful eyes
 a generous yet haunting sad smile, 
transcending space &time
 it rids me of my harden heart’s denial

on a quest of her own,
  a love child grown
 
…&so has a
        a mother’s love
