A Love Poem, of Sorts


My Lily Pad Queen 

She sat on the leaf, my Lily Pad Queen 
It was one of two leaves in the pond
Hers always, when wearing Irish Green
Other remained back saved for her friend 

Waiting for me, her Lily Pad Prince 
She knows me not though I know her well
Holding tight to her perch afraid to dance
Looking around would I ring her bell 

Green eyes passed me over, then they teared 
Deep I dived, I'll stay a hundred years
..

Well done. A lily pad romance, and diving into those green eyes.
