Analysis of Her Features
Her skin is so translucent the sun can shine clear through.
Her veins show like a river of cornflower blue.
Her heart is so sensitive the zeal can make vast claim.
Her tears blaze like an image of eternal flame.
Her frame is so delicate the spine can sculpt no mass.
Her bones slice like a dagger of volcanic glass.
Her mind is so insightful the thought can loom in time.
Her words play like a refrain of initial rhyme.
Her shape is so alluring the form can flash dark night.
Her curves cast like a figure of exquisite light.
Her soul is so angelic the good can flush out wrong.
Her ways fix like a tonic of numerous strong.
Her gait is so feminine the stride can rouse a chase.
Her moves track like a lady of elegant grace.
