My Lady Poem by Eddie Roa

My Lady

Rating: 5.0


She appeared softly into my twilight
In her trail a brilliant mane flowed
Like a cloud with myriad tiny suns and stars
An opalescent mantle of dreams and fantasies

The lanterns of past celebrations
Stood motionless and without light
She has stolen their gaiety and glow
Now hers to keep and unwilling to share

But I claim all that is hers is mine
As her whole being is mine, no other
Though captivated and enslaved
Still am her master though held in bondage

I have entrapped her in a silken cage
But she moves freely out of this velvet prison
The sturdy bars and steely nets cannot hold
This indocile lady I dare call my own

Mystifying and good imagery, the verses flow like a dream and the feeling is of wonder. Emotions sway like a pendulum between love and loss, not quite definite in conquest. Great write! Cynthia

my gosh...this is so beautiful..i really admire the construction of words as well as the combination of weak and strong expressions..you compared her to a very fragile thing while he is compared to a very strong and powerful creature..a very sweet poem and that...it reflects personality of the author..naizz

This is breathlessly beautiful Eddie. It is almost a fantasy, yet I feel this is a love poem for the beautiful lady you write about. The ending is stunning......10 Karin Anderson
