She

She

A Poem by C.A. Lucas

She has everything she wants
She is the happiest person alive.

She dwells in a beautiful, well decorated castle
Structured in the fairest landscape of the kingdom
Where the forest trees are as grand as the tallest tower
Where the sunshine bursts through their foliage,
Illuminating the vines of the walls that protects it's innards

She eats the finest of foods
Lovely and sweet
Effective and flavorful
Elaborate and delightful
All cooked to perfection from a fire pit to create a fragrance like no other 

She wears a stunning, well-tailored dresses
That suit her body well
And complement her skin in the light.
That flow behind her in a trail of beauty
Making her the most gorgeous lady in the land

Her crown is elaborate and creative, 
Vines of priceless material wound around her head
Making a shrine for the thing that keeps her living
Her noggin, the most important thing, the thing that calls the shots
The thing that keeps her in her place as princess
She has everything she needs.
She is happy enough.

Her castle of forest jewels stands tall and proud
Proud because it was crafted by her own hands,
The wood and rocks from the forest in which it sits

Her fine foods are apples and plums from her trees
The deer and squirrels she ambushes
When her rapidly decreasing fruit vanishes

Her stunning clothing is stunning, indeed,
for even a commoner would stare
at her deerskin rags that cover her dark skin

Her crown is made of dandelions and vines
It is a symbol of knowledge, power
 She is the queen of the forest, although human
She has everything she wants
She has everything she needs

She is the happiest person alive
She is happy enough

Interesting concept, with the two extremities of living. One a rich princess, the other a humble wood nymph of sorts. The imagery was stunning, great job! It just goes to show you that money doesn't but happiness. Your a very talented writer, God has given you a gift:) Don't ever give up on it!
