Poems For Juliet
These two poems were written in 1998 or 99 as "Lost Poems To Juliet" from Romeo, her love.
My Maiden Fair
My maiden fair, your eyes are like the night,
Two sparkling orbs so clear and filled with light,
Your lips the berry red of sweetened wine,
That beckon kisses with their rosy shine.
Your flowing hair reminds me of the wheat,
Your voice the melody of all that’s sweet.
I long to hold you softly in my arms,
And keep you safe from all the world’s harsh harms.
My Virgin's Song
My only love, my herald of the morn,
You are the sun when heaven’s rays are born.
You are a lily on the quiet waves,
And hold all those who see you heart-sick slaves.
And I am thankful just to know ‘tis I
You gifted with your virgin’s sweetened cry.
To no man shall you ever now belong,
Except to me, for whom you sang your song.
Both by Brienne (Brenton-Kramer) Adams
