A PRINCESS OF GARAMA

A PRINCESS OF GARAMA

Princess Fjefera, of Garama, smiled.
She would do no else.
Before her, her betrothed and a giant sea of blue.
Behind her, a dying kingdom, a sea of sand.

Yet in her eyes of green and gold
A promise shown from deep within her soul.
She knew but didn't know
She would be the last of the Garamantes.

No one stood taller in her view of her future's seascape
Than the soldier-merchant-traveler Justinian,
A not-quite-Prince of Byzantium.
He would take her to tomorrow.

The long journey's days now became days of reflection,
Of a once grand realm,
Of a dozen nights of passion,
Of a beginning.
