A powerful love poem - The King and Queen as metaphor for two lovers and/or husband and wife.

The King

by Sandra Hillawi



Deep thought

Concentration

Heart engaged

Deliberation



Then the words

No more no less

Focussed measured

They address



His clothes

Immaculate we see

Reflect his

Kingly dignity



Quiet strength

Modesty

Passion deep

Humility



Great heart

Loyal true

Grateful kind

Of rarest few



Eyes meet

His lover's gaze

Softest smiling

Heart now says



My only love

My heart my life

Behold your husband

Adored wife



Melting moulding

They embrace

Hearts as One

Holy Grace



Words are silent

Looks and sighs

Touching souls

Through hearts and eyes



With majesty

He takes his Queen

King of Love

Entwined they dream



Man and woman

Love and bliss

Awaken to

Each others kiss



Gratitude

Communion Holy

Reverence

Partaken wholly



Thirst of Love

Now satisfied

Kingdom now

Awaits outside



Side by side

Devoted Free

They love and serve

Humanity
