My Fairest Beauty

My Fairest Beauty

A Poem by James Mayfield
"

Dedicated to my fiance.

"

My fairest beauty

Clothed in petals and silks

Laying amidst the dew laden blades

Beneath yonder willow tree

 

Her skin as pale as porcelain

With the faintest champagne blush

Her caress is warmth incarnate

Soft as a summers breeze

 

She is my gloried savior

Leading me through the tangled paths

Of my nearly broken mind

Soothing as the balm of Eros

 

Her eyes flash as diamonds

Laden with mischief

As she casts a playful smile

Uplifting my spirit with the merest glance

 

She is my fairest beauty

Clothed in petals and silks

Who lies amidst the dew laden blades

Beneath yonder willow tree.

I loved the images I pictured when I read this. It was so textured, almost rich and creamy and soft and...Really, this was such a heartfelt tribute to your love. I also enjoyed the fact that you used some mythical/spiritual elements. Gave it a more timeless, magical feel to it. I'm NOT sure about using "yonder" in this piece, but I couldn't honestly tell you why. Due to the fact that you DID give this a magical, timeless feel, "yonder" doesn't feel horribly awkward, yet there was no other ACTUAL language that lent itself to using "yonder". Did that make sense? I'm on the fence on that, but other than that, I've gotta say this was captivating and stunning.

wow. Sounds as if you are in love so deep, that you are stuck in her feminine beauty. Really a beautiful poem. You describe her almost as a geisha, and man, that is gorgeous. I want to sigh and and say "AWE!!" lol.

I like this! It has that song of Solomon feel to it. I get that you revere this woman and this poem shows it very well.
