Perfection personified - My
Water Lilly Girl PETULIA
Dreams of her - still can make me cry
She is everything and more - unique peculiar !
Water Lillies are a flower Divine
Imortalised by Monet in his garden
Oh how I longed to make Petulia mine
Each glimpse of her - my "resolve" did harden.
Ruby lips and chestnut hair - Her
Figure sculptured was in chaste whiteness hidden
Eyes full of love (with tinges of despair)
But for her love my mind and heart was driven !
Alas one day just as the blooms decayed
My Love was gone - left me bereft dismayed !
Thanks for reading - please comment - BRIAN
Petulia is beautiful and lives on in my heart !
This is a 4 4 4 2 Rhyming Sonnet

- Comment from author about the poem: To some extent this is a FANTASY POEM and in retrospect I think the beauty of the Water Lillies conjured up in my mind (and heart) the perfect vision of PETULIA. Whenever I visited the Water Lilly Lake PETULIA was always there near the centre of the lake smiling her winsome Mona Lisa smile. Many Men have Fantasy Lovers and I am no exception. The Water Lillies are in bud again so I hope and pray that PETULIA will return to me. Thanks for reading BRIAN

I don't normally go in for love poems, but I must say this one is quite beautiful. Just curious: Does Petulia represent the girl that got away......?
Thanks for your comments DD ! There is more than one (well I am 33 !) However the fantasy is based on a GF called JULIA who i let (like a fool) flow through my fingers ! C'est la vie ! BRIAN
This poem was very interesting! It was outstanding. Keep up the good work!
