Royal Poetry Vol. 3

[Draketonic 71]

Royal Poetry Volume 3 - Katerina

 

Foreword

Upon closer correspondence with Haeseni Royalty and the people within Haense, Felyx becomes inspired to write yet another addition to the Poetry Series. This hobby of his has been expanding, and may be something serious simply by handing these works to their respective muses, who hold great power.

Nevertheless, as the young Colborn sits down to put quill and ink to paper, he is reminded by the semblance that the name

"Katerina" holds against his first poem's "Karenina", thus silently vowing to match his previous standards to fit at least a single aspect of the many diamond fractals of an equally incredible individual.

 

 

'Katerina'

 

Waves and waves of light are shimmering

Into which, no man may see.

For the pond of life within this vessel

As a fiery summer's breeze grow free.

 

The eyes of the maelstrom

The onion layers of sun will capture -

Out of melted icy footprints

The mind shall drift to what entraptures.

 

Allusions of flame dancing on a red wall

Bring forth slender fingers around gold to linger.

Yet as men stand tormented in transparent halls,

A graceful figure here shall make its stand.

 

Age has a number that ripes like fine wine

Which, as poured, pours into many souls in time,

To form a web of fine gold strands -

And band us together lest we fall from our climb.

 

The slender hand arches up, to clutch her Lorraine

For belief alone may keep us all sane -

So our trust placed in her to guide us the way,

By the mercy of God we shall not astray.

 

Blunt as a mace, her protection can kill

Those who threaten her kin of the Land.

In snow-capped red dress, and golden necklace

Her temper comes forth like winter's fury unmanned.

 

In time the laughter-lines grow,

A temper subsides and a gold heart does show,

With firm slender hands she holds her Lorraine,

Within her still waves, to lap up her pain.

 

As strong as a comet, a will resolute

Within you'll find diamonds before it is spent

For within us she sees just who we are

Through countless ages and not just one scar,

So let yourself be healed by the Lady;

 

"Katerina Ceciliya Barbanov-Bihar"

 

Afterword 

There is only one copy of this poem in circulation (IRPLY) and it is the original, signed by Felyx Colborn himself. What has been writ cannot be undone, and more royal poems are sure to come...

Katerina would read the poetry as it was delivered to her by one of her acolytes. As she read it a smile grew on her face

 

"Oh, what a lovely piece to honour me with. Ea must thank him properly soon. Spasiba, this has warmed my hearth immensely"
