Queen of hearts

A waiting queen
Clever and confident she was
Her body clothed-
sparkling and luxurious

What flutters?
Only space between them,
Pressing with a touch
Towards her he leaned

What rages in his heart?
Taken aback he stuttered.
Helpless under her power.
Standing time!

A set kiss
This cherished moment
Beauty in its greatest form.
What deserves this royal encounter?
