Ice Crystal Chandelier

His smile was like sunlight sparkling on water His charisma could make the most distrustful person believe or trust him Those promises were so genuine Promise of beautiful home on city's edge This was like a dream come true Chandelier of crystal was the focal point Of that large open front room Beautiful cut crystal hung sparkling in sun on that afternoon Once settled and heat came on that winter The chandelier slowly began to drip Drip onto that fabulous marble floor Then soon all that was left a dirty puddle Dirty liquid on the beautiful marble floor Needing to be cleaned with a mop and marble cleaner Charisma just doesn't get it Genuine character does and always has been a winner with me.
