Ashened Fashion

Ashened Fashion

Once a fan of clothing passion
she sought to dress in ornate fashion
To wear a studded lamé skirt
to smile so sultry and to flirt
a gemstone bangle on her wrist
and necklace twisted made of gold
peirced nose bauble to behold

then came a time transient wise
to leave her body to disguise 
with less elaborate distress
a gothic realm of black and white
and Goth into another nest
to dissapear as black and night
her ashened fashion will unite
