She is quite the romantic
Classic, charming, a charlotte
A modern Jan Austen
A  21st century Marie Antoinette

Dazzling steps she takes,
Lighting a room with presence
A most exquisite escape
A most darling endeavor

Touched by an artist with
Ringlets of gold and eyes of oceans
An immaculate china doll
An irreplaceable countenance

When she descends steps
Every eye will be fixated as if she were
A once lost duchess returned
A secret lover revealed

I stand amidst the awestruck
But a mere menial commoner
Talentless
Ordinary
Empty

No jewels to wear about my wrists and neck
Just a fragile flower crown for a sandy head
I hope she can see me from where she stands
High above where I cannot be

Smitten with her grace and noble air
I cling to the thought that her eyes perhaps landed on me
Oh what I would give to befriend
Such a marvelous and enchanting being.
