a modern regal face
fresh from the dying past
drawn upon layers of asperities
quacky she dare not become
preying to your captive heart
winsome lips of cranberry
silver eyes burnt
with cognitive mischiefs
colored cheeks in crimson roses
pity your sacred heart
for it would fling
across the universe
merely to breath in
a bit of her everlasting beauty
Friday 5: fling, cranberry, winsome, prey, quacky
Everlasting Beauty

Oh Lissa, this is beautiful. Your words are so well placed that I can see her beauty easily. I think it is hard for women to see their own beauty sometimes. You've depicted a wonderful picture. Thanks for sharing such a lovely image. Have a nice day.
Beautiful - amazing how you did that with the word prompts. Beautiful!
