Hopping on stones with a child's caprice,
holding her skirt with a princess' ease.
Happiness ran through her
electrifying her heart
weak though it was, contained her bosom,
all it could cart.
Blue were her eyes and her heart had hues,
she was a fairy was all she knew.
high teen spring times old
she had kindergartners in her fold,
she tinkled with them and her fairy thoughts were retold.
at Twilight, she did not know why
that cupid spied
and dawn survived
when her prince arrived.
Romance so romantic that mistletoe entwined,
soon there were rings and marriage bells chimed.
Hitherto came the pumpkin welcomed by all,
train as long as her pride followed her to the royal ball.
Vows to eternity were read by the Pope,
and they kiss-sealed the hope...
hope of a fairy, a princess a daughter,
A nurse, a saint, a mother a laughter.
She undid all knots, fulfilled all hopes,
and bore the heirs though behind slithered the ropes.
Ropes that tore apart the tale,
bruised the family and love
was stale,
But Rose still smiled called to the country
and whispered to those in pain
scrambled over past and searched for love but all in vain.
Tits bits love endured her not for long
moved over pain but for needy she wore a song.
She was too dazed to feel,
When love hit her squarely
thorns hers by birth might prick her entirely.
She hopped on yachts and tinkled over wines.
Blue were her eyes
bluish were the heart hues,
she again was a fairy
was all she knew.
Eyes on the alter
she walked beneath Eiffel
Joy electrifying her heart
weak though it was
contained her bosom all it could cart.
She was perhaps dearer to sky,
so doom followed with paparazzi on the fly.
She was so alive and then she was gone,
everyone knew and hoped it was wrong.
A flame blasted in second confirming the worst fears
a light that shines no more on earth
for which were shed many tears.
Good bye England's Rose
may she ever grow in our hearts
She was the grace that placed itself where lives were torn apart
coz Princess Diana she was...
P.S.: There's Elton too
A beautiful piece. I like how you did not let structure interfere with your thought process. Moreover, you did it well, something that I haven't seen amateur poets do well. Very neat piece!
