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.
