Refrain On the 6th

Reflected in a silvered mirror lies a lustrous crystal bauble
         Beguiling bribe veiled to eyes adrift in denial
           Atonement for his guilty heart,  a souvenir
      of that marbleized moment when love rolled away
   Brilliant gullion jewel, beribboned and returned to giver,
Lustrous crystal bauble,  no longer mirrored in glassy tears
