Esmeralda
She felt like a queen with sweet memory and life
nestled in her fortress of lush poetry and light
a place of passion where the world could not go
as she forged on with sweet memories and a
loving novel bestowed
Of tattered pages strewn in moments of flowers and lace
where words came with delicate emotion and could not

Esmeralda
A framed etching hangs
In the background of a silent traipsing dream
As she waits in preponderance
of words gathered along the way
A basket of flowers lies on the floor
Healing her heart upon a whimsical score
As she waits in loving song
Murmurous words to adorn
Every whim of her love
In beauty is born

Claude Frollo
For I pry my damnest
Her legs of an oyster
For they do not give way
Thy lacking in moisture
This night of great troubles
It pains me so
My loins are aching
Her pearls glow
A beauty to behold
Her spirit roam free
I have created her cage
A fear she will never love me
To control her is to have her
An immature thought
And that

Esmeralda, As Told By the Poet Pierre Gringoire - With Apologies To Victor Hugo
I had been placed in chains
Where the cripples shed their canes
And the blind regained the art of seeing.
It was a robbers’ den
And as all God fearing men,
I had assets needed freeing.
Sometimes the poet’s muse
Is a bride who will refuse
All his conjugal solicitations.
He must lure to bed
Any tramp that

Esmeralda
her smile
her youth
her grace
‘Esmeralda’
the mere mention of her name
causes envy with its charm
conjures sweet idyllic musings

exquisite in every way

Esmeralda
With Athena's wise courage
and the fierce confidence of Artemis'
The lily pond smiles back at Esmeralda
hypnotizing waterlilies-
beauty so cleansed
the water can't mimic her movements.
The enchanting dark haunts the lively garden-
hidden within a forest,
behind a cottage of green
The wings of an angel mirror the auburn hair,
the array of hydrangeas
mermaid-like white-
flowing violently over the fuzzy water,
