I've always known,
You are only but a dream,

You visited me every night.
Before I even knew your name.

Beauty, with no name,
Holding, Sharon’s Rose,
With thorns,
Stabbing my heart with impossible memories,

Leaves me with nothing but pain,
A rose and my heart,
Makes me see a miracle,

So much beauty,
So many thorns,
So much pain,

I dream of touching you,
My Seoul every day.

Love and pain balance the scale with your beauty,

I turn out the lights,
My dreams of you brighten my days.

I know I will never touch you,
My heart beats with unimaginable pain,

I think of doing something crazy.

Flying on a silver winged Magpie,
I'm afraid my heart will burn to ashes,

To stop longing for you,
Today, I'm ready almost,
To take a chance,

Flying into to your arms,
Or standing at Heaven's gates!

What should I do?

Two Angels standing together,
On this blessed day,
Looking into, a bright blue sunrise.

A new life is waiting for them;

A white veil covering her face,
Majestic, sparkling dark eyes,
Her beautiful Soul, behind a fluttering veil.

Love is waiting to have and to hold.

Overwhelming desire,
Finally ending their lonely, lives,
Two Souls are joining in love.

Becoming, husband and wife.

When you were taken from me,
On the cold spring day.
I began painting with a brush dipped in words.

Cherry blossoms blooming,
Sound of the gayageum,
A haegeum crying.

Promises made,
Promises kept,
Promises were forgotten.

Drinking soju,
Driving away sorrowful spirits.

Painting words with love,
Painting words with loss,
Painting  words with tears,
Painting words with hope!

Complicated life,
Sorrowful days,
Half a lifetime past,

Looking at Heaven,
Asking why?

Getting drunk,
Can't forget our dreams,
Living years without love,

Wishing to return to Heaven and you,
My beloved.

In the ground of time,
Buried lives past,

In the night the spirits sing,

Beneath a starry sky,
Lost lovers cry,

In the lonely shadows of night,
A cold wind blows,

Tears of lost love hurt,
Before me a woman sleeps,

In a dream she whispers,

Tears are a poet's release,
In every ocean of tears,
A new story of love begins.

Copyright © 2015 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Walking through a pine forest,
A fresh wind showing me the way,
Times past, so long ago.

Dreams beyond the bounds of time,
Guiding my way today,
Old friends so far away, so long ago.

Am I just dreaming?
Waking up together on a bright summer morning with my wife,
Talking about dreams, as we walk holding hands to the edge of a rippling pond.
How many children will we have?

Kissing under a full moon on a warm summer night.
We were both, enjoying the magic,
These days and nights of dreams from another time,
Another place,
Guiding me, through my lonely days.

Am I only dreaming?
Waking up on a bright summer morning alone,
Looking for her in the bright daylight,

She has gone home, To a place,
Beyond the bounds of time,
Where I can only follow her, in my dreams.

Time passes by,
As black rose blooms,
Night so dark, new moon,

Worrying about your thorns,

I can't see you,
I worry! That you are only but a dream,

You girl! Are so magical,
Loving heart, **** Soul, so touchable,
Sweet lips so warm, so kissable,

The smell of your hot Soul,  
Trapped me in your magic spell,
Hard to resist your charm,

So huggable you are,

I like the feel of your quiet whispers in my ear,
I like the feel of your soft hands on my chest,

I loved a black rose tonight,
And she felt just right.


Copyright © 2016 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

My whole life waiting for you,
through the seasons,
as time passes slowly,

with flowers blooming in the spring,
flowers are wilting with tears in the fall,
time is moving too slowly.

Many lovers have come and gone,
with all the goodbyes,
too many tears have fallen over the years.

You, my darling Angel,
your spirit remains in my heart,
uplifting my Soul though life on wilting days.

Chasing away the sad days
of tears falling on
wilting flowers,

always bringing memories,
of blooming cherry blossoms, roses, and love
in the spring.

In a blue sea, we are swimming,
With dolphins in shining moonlight,
Stars, shining, like snowflakes falling in her eyes,

In a blue sea,
Smiling, laughing,
My celestial Goddess and me.

Holding me deeply,
With her soft arms around me,
Never letting go.

She has me wrapped tightly.
Wrapped in her beauty and magic.

So in love,
I thought nothing could go wrong,
Until I woke up alone,
In a cold, empty bed at dawn.

Not able to reach you,
My beautiful Sakura,
A broken bridge,
Separates our hearts.

My beautiful pink flower,
Dreaming of sunny Seoul,

As daylight dims,
Unable to cross this bridge.
In the wilderness of life,

Longing and loneliness,
Fills my Soul.

Bright dreams of you,
As midnight passes,
Flying across the span of time,

Your blossoms tickle my Soul,

Touching your blossoms,
While standing in the South,
In a Seoul spring,

Lightens up my eyes,
With yellow sunshine.

Riding my dreams across the bridge,
Touching your Soul,
Hoping one day,
To hold you in my arms, as my wife.

Copyright © 2016 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

What place is this, covered in glow?
Glowing brightly,
Bright as snowflakes sparkling on Sharon's rose,

What city is this?
Streets covered in white,
White as Diamonds falling in beams of moonlight,

What time is this, covered with Hope?
Hope as bright as a large river gaining strength,
Never giving up on its journey,
As it ebbs and flows with the tides of space and time,

What home is this?
A shining Seoul dazzling, in beams of sunlight,
Sounds of children singing,
Playing! In winter's first snow.



Copyright © 2015 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Walking along a warm sandy beach,
Seeing a beautiful sunset in your eyes,
A fiery Seoul; enthusiastic flames burning in your heart,

Holding your warm hand,
Seeing you smile,
Dancing in the ocean waves; Laughing without a care,

Singing to guitar strings;
Floating in yesterday's memories,
Brightening my life,

Warming my heart,
Lifting me up,
With a Soul brighter than any sunrise.

Copyright © 2018 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Lost in a sea of darkness,
Like, a fiery star crossing my path,
You shine on me rescuing my Soul,

Glancing at you!
Rising above my sea wall Far to the East,
Like, a bright morning sun,

You warm my heart,
Dry my lonely tears
Of morning dew.

Copyright © 2016 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

When should I give up?
When I can't find evidence of love.
When is the right time to get closer?
A good time for the tears to stop?

Can't find the courage to stand in front of you,

I can only stand here in this distant place,
Looking at you, my dream,

After all, there seems to be one thing I will never do.

It's about to rain pink cherry blossoms in that far away place,
Tears are falling at days end,

Crying, while watching sunsets dawning
Over the shores of a dream far to the East,

Why do I think so much of you?
A woman dressed in red, white blue and black,
Waving from the shores of an Eastern Sea.

Are you a person?
Or, only a dream waving from that distant place?

Am I wrong to have such thoughts,
When I can't find evidence of love,
Can't find the courage to stand beside you?

Copyright © 2016 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

When I'm lonely at Midnight, I can't sleep,

I'm afraid to dream,

I hear the rain falling, thunder in the distance,
Wind blowing through trees,
A single streetlight twinkles through the window,

I think of you, Why you left me with this gift of pain?

I've always known you were nothing but a dream,
That after it ends leaves nothing behind but loneliness and pain,

I want to forget you,
But, this pain is driving me insane,

I want to forget...

This pain from living in a dream.

Spent our first sunrise together at Busan’s Haeundae beach,
And peaceful nights and bright days with you,
Waking up to cherry blossoms in the springtime,
Can we stay for the rest of our lives?

The scent of Seoul cherry blossoms in the spring,
Childhood memories,
Dreams of another time and place,
Guided me back home to you and this place,

Walking along the beach in our bare feet,
Time goes by to fast,
Spring colors, new life begins, brighter days,

Wasn't it just yesterday when I met you?
With cherry blossoms falling in your hair.

Copyright © 2015 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Another spring has arrived,
A cold winter…
fighting to hold on,

Nights, gently getting warmer.
Soon bright cherry blossoms,
will shine above Seoul,

Looking at you from a distance,
Wishing I was holding you…
in my arms on this spring day,

Dreams of our past
lives remain,
deep in my heart today,

Warm, loving nights,
our Souls intertwine, like blooming young
cherry blossom branches,

Never letting go of such,
blossoming beauty,
at dawn is my wish.

Such sadness, on this cold spring day,
Gazing across a vast dark ocean,
Knowing dreams of beauty, lie waiting for me,

Regretting, born
half a world away,
from love.

In the dark mirror of my mind,

Touching your reflection Choon-Hee,

It was never meant to be,
Misty mornings by the lake,
Standing alone, looking at the sky,

Holding a glass of rye whiskey,

It was never the way I planned my life,
You're a mystery in my life,
Not my intention,

I got very brave, these last days,
Bold enough, to capture your gaze in my heart,

Lost my discretion,
It's not what, I'm used to,

Just wanna try you on,
I'm curious to know if we will fit together,
Your sunrise reflection caught my affection,

Touching your reflection Choon-Hee,
The taste of your **** pouty lips,
Steamy mists rising in my mind,

Touching  your reflection Choon-Hee just to try it
I hope my princess you don't mind it,

It felt so wrong,
It felt so right,
Don't mean anything, right?

Touching your reflection Choon-Hee,
No, I don't even know what's real,

It doesn't matter,
You're my alternative to life,
Just human nature, right?

Those sweet Korean girls they are so magical,
**** dark eyes, steamy silk hair, so kissable,
Hard to resist so touchable,
Too good to deny it,
Ain't no big deal, it's innocent,

It's not what,
Proper people do,
Not how they should behave,
My head gets so confused,
Hard to obey,

Touching your reflection Choon-Hee,
The fragrance of your shiny black silk hair,

Touching your reflection Choon-Hee in the rising mists of my mind,
I hope my princess you don't mind it,

It seemed so wrong,
It felt so right,
Don't mean anything, right?

Touching your reflection Choon-Hee,
The sound of your passionate heart,
The feel of your exquisite neck,

Touching your misty reflection Choon-Hee,
I hope my princess you don't mind it.

On a cold winter's morning,
Watching, Luna, Spica, and Jupiter,
Dance through the Heavens.

Recalling, thoughts of you.

Saying hello to distant memories,
Since then,
It has been dreams of centuries past.

I miss you very much.

I want to see you,
I want to take your hand,
I want to hold your Soul in my arms once again,
I want to feel your passion next to me while we dream.

Closing my eyes, wishing upon dancing stars.
To stand beside you once again.

No matter how much I wish and dream,
Of you and me together.
I know love can not be.

I closed the door on love,
A long time ago,
While whispering, I love you.

Copyright © 2017 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Today, I saw the most beautiful Eastern sky,
That chased my sorrows away,

Turning around all I see is you,
Your love knows no bounds,
An Angel flying among the clouds,

I'm afraid the clouds will scatter and fly away,

I see you in my eyes,
Your cotton clouds warming my Soul,

In my eyes, I only look to you my Sunshine,

My Soul wishes to fly away with you,
Until the end of time,
My heart cries out, "I love you. Please don't go."

Your love is what I depend on,
To wash away the lonely dust.

Copyright © 2016 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

White cotton clouds,
Blue, blue sky,
Over me,

What is this I see,
Two puppies playing,

There are several places,
Angels could be hiding,
They make themselves known,
While whistling in the wind,

But, in the depths of clouds,
There are storms brewing,

I'll just wait and see,

Thunder, as loud as dogs of Summer barking at me,

The air is thick and wet,
I've always wished I could fly away,
From the cold August rain.

Copyright © 2015 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Even cloudy days are beautiful,
When I'm standing here, close to you.

While the cold rain is falling,
I see the bright sunshine,
Sparkling in your dark eyes,

Seeing cherry blossoms blooming all around you,

Even cloudy days are enjoyable,
When I'm holding you in my arms.

When I look at gray skies,
Finding the blue openings between the clouds,
I always know hope exists.

Hoping to see a flicker of memory,
Filled with sunshine of you and me,
Loving so deeply.


Cloudy days do not concern me,
As long as you are standing here,
Happily next to me.

Copyright © 2016 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Loving you is like the warmest coat, on a freezing winter's day,
Holding you in my arms; I  love listening to your breathing,
Your strong heart beating.

Oh beautiful Love,
My warm coat,
A beating heart in my arms,

So close to you love,
Like, only two Souls existing in time,
You're red lips and bright smile,

I want to kiss you, kiss you...
Feel so happy, like on a warm summer day,
Skies are blue,

Long walks, with you,
Singing and laughing,
At all the spring flowers and birds,

Oh love, how much I love you,
I want to kiss you, kiss you...

Eight cups of coffee,
A long night, waiting for love to come home again...
A cold moon is looking down on a bitter Soul,
Dust bunnies are making love in the moonlight.

Always waiting, never seeing you,
Bitterly cold, lonely nights, looking for your ghost at the
bottom of every empty cup,
Painting love poems with bittersweet, coffee grounds.

Still looking back,
asking, when will you come home?
Looking at a closed door,

Should I remain here waiting, with an empty heart?

Still unable to forget you,
can't leave this place,
eyes are always searching, cannot see past my broken heart.

Or move on,

Opening, a closed door to a new life and new dreams,
filling my heart with new love, new hope,
and say goodbye to my lost love, forever...

Copyright © 2018 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Standing alone,
Looking at dark skies,
Cold rain falling on our lives,

Why doesn't our love bloom?
Shivering, wondering why,
Love is walking away in tears of rain,

Why I am unwilling to follow,
Two hearts tied so closely, at one time,
Two Souls that depended on each other say goodbye,

How can I find the courage to say,
The words to make you stay.

Copyright © 2015 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Cold Sunshine

The sun occupies my days,
From dawn to dusk,
Looking for bright days,

The sun shines bright,
But my days are always dark,

Lonely days,
Hearing your voice carried on the wind,
Telling me, not to give up,

Thinking still of you,
Remembering your hugs,
As my cold days slip away,

Remembering when you left,
My sunshine and happiness went away,
The day the sunshine became cold.

Copyright © 2018 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

You and I in this lifetime,
Searching for our song,
Reaching to Heaven,

Standing here alone,
Wishing my only one,
My love,  my dream, to come home,

Wishing you were standing by my side,
Wanting to hold you, for so long,
Outside of my dreams,

Never missing your site ever again,

You and I standing in bright sunshine,
Keeping each other strong,
Warming our Souls,

Healing my broken-hearted life,

Waiting for you to come home,
Back home to my Soul.

Copyright © 2017 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

In the short time,
We spent together living our young lives,
You left me with a thousand years of memories.

Never ending words to write.

We spent a year, every day, waking to our dreams,
Making dreams of love.
Making memories, we'll always have.

Afraid the memories would fade away,
I spend days looking to Heaven,
Talking to you, writing poetry to you.

I have been unable to let you go.

In my old life,
I count the memories,
I count the days until,
I will hold your Soul in my arms,
In Heaven once again.

Copyright © 2017 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Are you for real,

Or in my imagination?

On opposite sides of the world, we stand alone.

Looking hard to see you,

Between you and me, is an infinite sea,
A cloudy sky raining tears,

Feeling, ripples of love from another world,
Flowing over me,

How can I cross an ocean of infinite tears?

For a few seconds; to be in your arms would be worth my life.

I will love you forever even if my dream does not come true.


Copyright 2015 © Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Is it human nature to be cruel to one another?
All evidence points to this being so.
I never asked for a thank you or even respect.

You are neither family or someone I love but
I admired very much.

I only asked that you, do your best.
Was it some test,
to repay kindness with heartlessness?

Or in your eyes,
Is kindness weakness,
only to be used and tossed out like trash?

I would have instead died if I knew what you would do.
Why didn't you just say goodbye?

Instead, you tortured me and brought back,
the most horrible memory,
from my past that made my heart burst.

You are neither family or someone I love but
I still admire very much.

Goodbye.

Fate sent me to you,
Meeting you under a cherry blossom tree,
Drinking down your warm, sweet cup of love,

Catching your honey tears, with my lips,
You become my blessedness,
You become my hope,

Your love tastes sweet, like cherry wine,
It fills my heart,
And takes away my sorrowful hunger,

Together with you forever,
Drinking from your,
Never empty cup of love Is my blissful dream.

Copyright © 2016 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Thinking of love and you,
Remembering a beautiful time,
You and I dancing to a dreamy song,

We would dance until dawn,
Holding each other close,
Feeling the beating of our warm hearts,

Holding on tight through the night,
So close, our Souls become one,
Such passion, such never ending love,
Love as vast as the Universe and time itself,

An impossible connection to you,
An impossible time we are together,
An Impossible place thousands of years in the past,

Out of all the possibilities,
Knowing I have discovered the Miracle of you,
The Miracle of you and me dancing together in a dream,

Do you dream of me?
Do you know I exist in your distant future?

Copyright © 2016 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

This night is so dark, as dark as storm clouds,

Without your shining light!
I don't remember who I am,

The cold winter winds blowing,
Are making my heart feel so cold,

The afternoon breeze shook
The branches of the trees,
Leaves, fall like tears,

Where has the warm summer gone?
My heart feels so cold, as cold as winter winds,

This countryside looks like a painting,
With dark storm clouds,
Without your bright shining light,

The night is so very dark,
Without your shinning soul to warm my heart,
I don't remember who I am.

Mornings are glowing red and gold,
Streaks of white paint tossed on a blue canvas,
Yellow Forsythia glowing,

A girl sitting alone on a bench, at the ocean's edge,

Passion in my heart, flourishing,
Her guitar sound, her soothing voice,

My Soul calmed,
Her dress fluttering in the sea breeze.
A sparkle in her eyes,

Seagulls flying above an Angel singing hymns,
Filling my Soul, with hope,
  
While I whisper,
What is your name,
My pretty daydream?

Copyright © 2017 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

A long time ago,
At the beginning of Fate's eastern path,
You and I touched in a dream,

On the sunrise of a new life,
You became a delightful Hope,
That opened my heart;

To a beautiful Miracle,
To a wonderful new world,
To the past life and home, I mourn every day.

My dream,

But you still don't know who I am,
The only time I can touch you,
Is in my world of fantasies,

I truly don't know,
When I will be able to take that first step,
On a Fates path, to find you in this life,

To kiss your hand and,
Hold your Soul forever in my arms,
You! the Love! of my sweet dreams.


Copyright © 2016 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

My dearest love,

Upon this dream, I shall write my wishes,
wishes and hopes for you,
and me. And upon my Soul,
I promise you; I will fulfill every desire you ask of me,

Deeds are gifts of love that are more important than saying the words.
But if saying the words is your desire,
I will always tell you I love you, I love you.
How can I help you?

Such intelligence, charm, and beauty as yours,
brightens my life every day,
more than warm sunshine.

Looking upon your pretty face every morning,
is my desire,
and my wish to receive such a beautiful gift,
from you to me each day my love.

How can I resist your beautiful eyes,
and sweet lips?
You cast a spell on me.

I desire to feel your splendid black hair brush against my face,
As it shines in the morning daylight,
It smells like chocolate chip cookies baking,
that makes me hunger for your love every day.

These words alone cannot express how much I love you.
I love you and only you.
After all, you live in the place I travel to in my dreams.
And you are everything I have been looking for since,
tragedy struck my life a long time ago.

You only need to ask me what you desire of me,
and I will grant your wish.
Never be afraid to speak your desires, dreams and hopes to me.

I pray to God each and every day.
I will be able to hold you in my arms, eat drink and sleep with you one day.
That would be my last wish.
It would be Heaven on earth!

You always remain in my thoughts; 
I miss you more than anything on the days we can't talk.

I hope you understand my love.

I live only for you and to please you
and make your dreams come true.

I will always love you.

I feel sorrowful,
Darkness makes me ill,
I feel miserable, depressed,
My heart is drenched in soju tears.

Hunger rips at my foundations,
I feel tired,
Anger is dragging me down to the depths of misery,
I want to die!

Is it because of being alone for so long?
With the blue rays of despair, raining down on my Soul?
Or am I lost in a tale of Hwang Jini, adrift far from my home,
A foreigner missing his Seoul,
I don't know?

Kyung Mi, I miss you, my wife,
Kyung Mi I miss you, my love,
Kyung Mi I miss you my best friend,
I was getting better but then,
Thoughts of never seeing Kyung Mi broke my heart again,

I feel brokenhearted,
Cold nights chill the flesh on my empty hands,
I feel downcast,
An outcast, living far from home, Missing his Seoul,
Feeling crushed my only purpose.

I feel miserable,
Death is doing its best to take my Soul,
I want this to end!

Is it because of being alone that I feel this way?
With the blue rays of despair, drenching my heart?
Am I lost in a story of Hwang Jini, adrift far from home and alone,
I don't know?

Kyung Mi missing my one true love,
Kyung Mi missing your beauty,
Oh God, Kyung Mi missing your kindness,
I was getting better but then memories of you,
Thoughts of never seeing Kyung Mi broke my heart again,

Oh! God! Take me back home.

Knock on the door.
Who is it? I ask.
Special delivery!

I open the door.
I'm handed aa envelope postmarked Seoul Korea.
Sign here, please.

I walk over to the desk and open the envelope.
Inside the envelope is a letter along with a round trip plane ticket to Seoul Korea.

The letter says, "Congratulations you are the grand prize winner of "Why Korea is a Beautiful Country?" contest. Thank you for submitting several of your poems to us. Now get ready to take some pictures of your dream.

A month later April 1st

I find myself boarding the plane flight to Korea.
We take off, and I decide to try and sleep for the entire flight.

But I'm woken up by people screaming. Then hear a voice over the loudspeaker saying, "Put your life vest on, fasten your seat belts."
The flight attendants were running down the aisles yelling.

I see a bright flash as bright as a noon sun,

Waking up on a sandy white beach,
To the sound of ocean waves.
Feeling ocean waves at my feet trying to pull me back into the sea.

Standing up wiping the sand off my pants.
Looking around,
I see an empty beach, a deep blue ocean, trees and mountains.

Seabirds flying high as if searching for something,

Suddenly I hear yelling in a strange language from behind me. Turning around, I see bizarre looking people riding horses ******* towards me with swords raised screaming what sounded like "Mooreup Ggul-eo! Mooreup Ggul-eo!  I tried to run but was grabbed by one of them and pushed to the ground. Because of being scared of having my head cut off. I didn't say a word or move a muscle.  

Next I was bound, gagged and tied to a horse with a rope.

The men mounted their horses. They began moving down the beach while dragging me behind the last horse.

After what seemed like many hours of walking and with the sun setting we reached a grotto surrounded by cherry blossoms, roses and pine trees. Stunning like something from a fairytale.

One of the men removed the gag and untied me.
He grabbed me by the arm yelling something at me that I couldn't understand while pointing at and pushing me into a small cave.
When I turned to look around, I noticed the rest of the group were all bowing, and some even seemed to be crying. I was grabbed again turned around and tossed into the cave.

Then I hear a sound like a sad young woman crying.
I say, "Hello." No answer.

I continue walking toward the crying in this cave as dark as moonless night. When I come to an open chamber as bright as the midnight sun.
I'm shocked to see a beautiful Goddess tied to a throne by her wrists and neck.

I quickly begin to untie her. I try to speak to her. But neither of us can understand the other. But I remembered the most important word in the Korean language and say,  "saranghamnida" She stops crying looks directly at me and says, "jagiya saranghae."

After I released her from the prison of, her thrown. She jumped up
and put her arms around me and with her head against my chest listening to my heart. She kept hugging me. She wouldn't let go of me.

She takes my hand pulls me slowly towards the cave opening.
I tried to stop her because of the people waiting outside guarding the cave but insisted she seemed triumphant and not afraid.

As we stepped out of the cave to a beautiful red-orange sunset.
She bows to me, and I return the bow and we both bow to the people guarding the cave. All of a sudden, the crowd cheers yelling Dongroe! Dongroe!...

I fell in love with the incredible Goddess Yuhwa. Last night I dreamed that she was bathing in my steamy cup of tea. That took the chill in my Soul away.

Mooreup Ggul-eo! = On your knees!
saranghamnida The Most formal way to say I love you.

jagiya saranghae = Darling, I love you.

Dongroe  A ceremony in which the king and queen bow to each other, share wine and food, and have their first night together.
