The Chrysalis

The chrysalis of bad emotions boil Evanescent expressions cross the lips A plethora of lines like sea's turmoil The talisman has lost its charming grip Radiant sapphire deep eyes that desire Dulcet voice in rhapsodic love song A boiling cauldron steaming hottest fire Not the idyllic iron pot that's strong The felicity of the affair gone Reality's presence comes to play The plethora of felicity withdrawn Clouds gather banked in dark charcoal gray Evanescent talisman like a blond wig Who has been had; who was it that was rigged Rig in one sense means the act of swindling by some fraudulent scheme

A lot of interesting original expressions here ... I especially liked "The plethora of felicity withdrawn". Reading the comments people keep mentioning 10 words that were interwoven into this sonnet ... was it perhaps for a contest?
