A sprinkle of starlight from high in heaven's lair -
mimics crystalline highlights that shower your hair
The many shades - gently caressed by an angel's hand -
gives rise of lilac's fragrance from each silken strand
Unknown to harshness - her soft unblemished skin,
smooth perfection unaltered by sun or wind
Outer beauty is seen, but there's more to be told,
nestled in comfort like a child in cradles hold
A tinge of jade speaks of gentleness deep inside;
emeralds slowly fade with the closing of her eyes
With turn of heads, the moon and stars often weep,
silently gazing upon this gentle soul in sleep
Life's grandest views - hidden within simple things,
beyond shallow eyes it always holds more than seems
Gates swing wide for those seeking something more;
enter the refuge - peer into your mind's open door
Mild as a whisper, her voice delicately refined,
upon lovely smiles each sweetness combined
Like an air of dreams - cast by magic's spell,
into these depths is where I long to dwell
If images could be paused in a moment of time,
inside stilled sands - you would always be mine
With halt to seconds - through portals of hourly glass,
I'd be there to love you until eternity's very last

There's really no transformation. The rose and skull just symbolized beauty and darkness. I like to think that I can portray either in my writings. As always, I thank you for your kindness.

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "

Thank you, Elizabeth. To be honest, I'm not very fond of this work. Of course though--that's just me.
