Girl In the Silhouetted Dress
Wine stained o'er the coal-black lace
A monotone of laughter left no trace
Next page had a spectrum of shades of grey
The ribbon on the palette was moulded with clay
Microscopic pellets on the bed side table
A blithe entity is a morose historic fable
Mystic pink sugar plums held no sugar
Colourless rotten endearment as the trigger
If tis' love, then the committed became a wreck
Crestfallen, stubborn ambers hung around her neck
A jade bangle locked her overflowing energetic soul
Teardrops o' sapphires hauled her ears to doubt till ol'
Amethyst on her ring finger, mistress to a caged château
A spinning wheel sat and away with thread she stow'd
A weaver of a solid heart in garish garments became a mess
Absurd with hue for she aid to see her silhouetted dress
