The Fallen Beauty

She made love like the whirlwind, unannounced, strong & fierce.
Unrepentant, like a ghost that comes to haunt.
Only to relive some past pleasures.
Resurrecting old bones, once dead.
Even the wind gasps at her matchless beauty & whispers her name in secret.
This mesmerizing silhouette, who could forget!
A queen of the night but an empress of light.
Like the diamonds that dressed her delicate neckline, she shined in every domain.
Wearing grace as her bracelet & charm as her anklet, her footsteps intrigued many.
Dancing to her own her tune like the lillies in a field.
And suddenly her ghostly image fades as the sun sets.
Once again leaving her audience bewildered & breathless!
