Mortal Beauty

(its not going in d right 
category tday.)

Her 
hair 
glittered 
and 
shone
like 
glinting 
strands 
of 
gold

Or 
her 
hair 
jet 
black
in 
a 
dark 
sheen 
of 
ebony
Ah 
witness 
the 
Lord's 
creativity
in 
great 
beauty 
variety

Her 
eyes 
a 
shade
of 
sparkling 
jade


Or 
her 
hazel 
brown 
eyes
like 
bronze 
sunset 
skies 

Her 
cheeks 
had 
a 
blush
of 
the 
red 
of 
rubies

Her 
arms 
shimmered
as 
does 
diamond 
dust

Her 
skin 
was 
radiant
as 
mother 
'O' 
pearl!

Her 
neck 
and 
figure
so 
sinuous 
and 
slender
as 
the 
diamond 
back 
snake's

The 
coy 
quiver 
of 
her 
lips
like 
blossoming 
tulips

Her 
nails 
one 
could 
fancy
were 
pink 
sapphire
Ah, 
she 
could 
be 
his 
heart's 
desire
set 
his 
beating 
heart 
on 
fire

But 
miss 
terrific 
may 
wait 
for 
heart 
throbs 
to 
marry
and 
not 
just 
any 
Tom 
Dick 
and 
Harry!

So 
even 
if 
he 
may 
be 
a 
lady 
killer
Let 
him 
meet 
his 
match 
for 
she 
be 
a 
femme 
fatale!
