Sun Queen
Sun Queen
Oriental slant of her eyes
Gazes into corner of Parisian salon
As she reclines in baroque beauty
Upon arm rest of divan
Her scarlet tresses halo the regal velvet
With the radiance of a sun queen
Whose majesty rules over supplicant hearts
Conjuring designs on susceptible gents
With wit sharp as the scimitars
Of her eyebrows etched in fire
A single finger on her cheek bone
With thumb on chin
Far from a pawn in the chess match
That plays in her satirical theater
That with one word disarms suitors
Who succumb to her brash charm
like sugar cubes
that melt on her tongued irony
Oriental slant of her eyes
Gazes into corner of Parisian salon
As she reclines in baroque beauty
Upon arm rest of divan
Her scarlet tresses halo the regal velvet
With the radiance of a sun queen
Whose majesty rules over supplicant hearts
Conjuring designs on susceptible gents
With wit sharp as the scimitars
Of her eyebrows etched in fire
A single finger on her cheek bone
With thumb on chin
Far from a pawn in the chess match
That plays in her satirical theater
That with one word disarms suitors
Who succumb to her brash charm
like sugar cubes
that melt on her tongued irony

Gracias, LilDragonFly. Adore your comment coming from as charming and talented a poet as you, my dear friend. This is a new one in my collection of worshipful homages on the timeless beauty of a dear lady friend in her fifties. Her beauty is as ageless and timeless as the earth.
