Her Scarlet-Red Scepter

Breathtaking blue her sparkling eyes Rapturous red her ruby lips Passionate pink her soft, tender cheeks Luscious lavender the skirt 'round her hips Torrid turquoise her manicured nails Palatial purple the tiara 'cross her forehead Eminent emerald gleam her toes' pedicure Winsome white the silk sheets on her bed Lovers knock on majestic mahogany doors Heavenly hopes swelling their heathen hearts As she raises or lowers her scarlet-red scepter Whole kingdoms elevate---or tumble sadly apart

Indeed, the imagery is amazing, Gershon. She encompasses all of my favorite shades - turquoise, emerald, passionate pink. Colors seem to bleed with emotion. Congratulations on your win in Brian's contest! Best wishes, Carolyn
