Rosaura Walks In Beauty

by Larry Chamberlin   Dec 6, 2013


From world travels we two have made
I sift through pictures of our life;
though some events begin to fade
like beacons are those with my wife;
in the worst of trips has this maid
soothed my stress and moments of strife.

In quaint markets she owns the aisle
softly radiant in her prime;
vivid memories of her smile,
grace and beauty transcending time;
it is her nature to beguile:
this beauty photographs sublime.

I'll travel with her anywhere
so long as I am mortal man;
I will go down with this prayer:
spend our life making longer plans;
for now and ever more I swear
life was naught before we began.

    A husband's unending love for his wife is beautifully penned to show not only his feelings for her but also the beauty and grace of his wife.
    Lovely work!

    True, the meaning would change.

    Mr. Larry my suggestion is ... you should place this poem under miscellaneous or under life's category under inspiration that way someone can nominate it. Sadly enough, I still can't. But I feel this poem can inspire others and that it should be read by others. I just love the tender tone in this poem and the last stanza is the one I like the most, but I also like how you observe her in the second stanza, and how you describe how she walks. It's beautiful.

    Edit: Plus... I cannot offer this poem to be nominated under the Suggestions for nominated poems Thread... because it seems I cannot comment on a thread that is over 180 days without being used.

    I'll travel with her anywhere
    so long as I am mortal man;

    ^ doesn't it need an A? So long as I'm a mortal man?

      Not for the meaning I wanted to convey: "am mortal man" is the universal state versus the individual instance of one lifetime
