Grandeur

Behind the shadow of palace,

Lost remnants of youth

In oceans of splendour

And adorned with grandeur

There she sits,

High above the peasants

Watching a poor woman,

Kiss her husband to be

Hiding under her modest veil

A failed attempt to hide her rosy cheeks

The man who caused them,

Admiring his creation

The unspoken love

Between those two

Unknown to her heart

Spoke in a language she couldn't understand

As she lay,

On her silk sheets that day

Her choice of grandeur, in her prime

Was it really the grandeur of the heart?
