Crownless Queen

Your Highness, Your Majesty!
My Beloved, My Light
A mighty ruler, a lovely queen
Where is your crown?

Your love is of pure gold
Patience unmeasured
Dedication unquestioned
Why empty the throne, queen?

Your scepter is our light
Law is your voice
Your palace is our refuge
Hope is your kingdom.

My reigning queen
Look at the grand ball
What do you see?
How do you feel?

The Royal Court, the chariots
The soldiers, the maids
Necklaces and earrings
Long gowns and silver shoes.
Why forsake them all?

Where are you my queen?
Why leaving us in pain?
The king, princess and prince
Your entourage is waiting.

Arise and be with us
Gather us in your wings
Feel our love, and
Sleep again with all our cares.

Rest now my queen
Till we meet again
In your new heaven
My crownless queen.


AN: This is a tribute poem fo rmy mother who passed away.
