Bashful Beauty


Eyelashes 
  Batting in bashful style 
    Like the dance of weeping willow leaves

Sculpted nose 
  Crafted in perfection 
    Double caves in a sheer rock mountain 

Rosy lips 
  Tender in lusciousness 
    Juicy strawberries dipped in pure cream

Vibrant eyes 
  Framed in deep mystery 
    Ebony gems enclosed in pearl shells
