She

she dances naked in warm spring air
sets fire to flowers in bloom
with roses braided in her hair
her beauty could silence a crowded room

the angels sing a song she wrote
the devil wishes she was his own
a locket i gave decorates her throat
a necklace she made decorates my own

one cold day she left me there
i couldnt keep her happy you see
she left me the roses from her hair
i watched love wilt in front of me

Thanks dillon for stopping by and appreciating my work. Good, as I then found your writings.. loved the subtle way you've described her and how she left the roses from her hair, it paints a beautiful picture of her..
