My Poetry Diary

A beauteous woman I saw, On one of my journey to the north, Her eyes shone so bright like the sun; In her arms I found a forte; On her right hand is a map of beyond; A luminous place for few to savor, Where lovers meet by the Mediterranean pond; Made of an ethereal ink of sacred flavor; On her right feet is a Balearic poem, Made of seven letters and is pure; A poetry only from the goddess realm, How long will I see you, so much to endure?
