Ma Belle Femme Jolie

My beautiful girl...
  How sweet her soft symphonies,
  My love... how she makes me swoon;
  when the moon was full...
  and love was in her eyes

Too tender her delicate embraces,
  as I if to meld her soul in mine;
  her sweet laughter...
  how she adores my every glance,
  time would stand still...
  on an autumn night, how red her lips,
  to kiss...softly, and to expect nothing more,
  than her wondrous love...
  
My soul sings her name for an age eternal,
  I hath given myself to her she-beauty;
  my Queen! My Lady to none other than I...
  my pledge a thousand glories over;
  life is always sweet in her flower for me

An envy of the world I am ---
  that she be only mine...
  when her world is dark,
  she shines my light;
  love shall be our lamp to smite the monsters;
  and the shadows, no more lonely do they look, 
  (for she is always there) 

And beauty hath adorned her name...
  (Ma Belle Femme Jolie)

"La beauté est dans l'oeil de celui qui regarde" This statement holds so much truth. Your thoughts are beautiful, romantic and from the heart. "to kiss...softly, and to expect nothing more. un baiser crée une humeur à couper le souffle, on peut se perdre dans. Indeed. :) Brandy

You didn't know I was a romantic poet? Some of my most popular writes have been romantic; The Love Letter, Ma Belle Femme, Of Ladies and Lords, to name a few among dozens. I guess my classical works have exceeded my classical notierity.; at least more so to men --- we often bond through sympathy regarding women we once loved. But many thanks Silent for your visit as always, I am a admirer of your works as well;-)

How I love French. Such a romantic language to describe your beautiful young woman. The tenderness in your heart shines through in this poem, Keith. If only there were more men like you. You sound happy now and that makes me smile. Wishing you many blessings in the New Year! Love, Carolyn

Hey wonderful! French is naturally romantic, hence 'the language of love'. Your reply is so (belle) the poem might as well have been written for you, my dear...lol I know if you like my poetry the best of the world has declared it! I smile at the mere thought of a beautiful woman...Happy New Year too my Lady
