Poem Artwork




Stars in the heavens doth decree
Royal tapestries of blue and gold 
A parchment sealed for eternity
Requires that thou, a mere servant be
Fate hast sewn thy threads of
Roses sweet with gnarled thorn
For upon the throne doth reign
Thy Sovereign King and Lord
Seated beside a graceless Queen,
Two minds of one accord
Evermore thy heart shall yearn
And bleed upon thine obedient hand
In truth,  thou knowest not how Fate turns
As Destiny shall weave the final strand



L.G. Figgins © 2010

A joy to read is this marvelous sonnet.
It has a touch of the Oscar Wilde's
in this story.
Top notch.

Linda I love how you blend the idea that love has no distinction...from royalty to peasantry all are susceptible to it.

Linda,
Your sympathies, eloquently rendered, clearly lie with those who only wait and serve. The style is glorious and perfectly appropriate.
It's good to read you again after a long while.
