Sublime Grace

Once in a blue moon
                I vividly dream of a veiled woman
          noisily walking into my dream in high heels. 
                        Oh, how I wish she could 
                            seep into my dream 
                               night after night!

                   Her mega-watt smile, fireworks 
                  Bursting into a shower of sparks. 
               A frangipani always stuck in her hair
faithfully obeys the wind.  She's a poet's dream muse, 
                       sashaying down the street 
                       like a runway supermodel

                     Her black stiletto high heels 
       Pounds the pavement "Clump! Clump! Clump!"
           Attracting rapt attention here and there. 
          A cynosure of all eyes wherever she goes. 
                               She's the epitome 
                   of sheer elegance and charm. 

                                 And she walks 
                         with such sublime grace,  
           strutting, exhibiting immense confidence
              She's one of a kind, not real, though. 
                  She just shows up in my dream
                           Once in a blue moon
