Gilded gold in sapphire blue
A ghostly tremour creeps
Stealing soft a body through
Whilst mind so softly sleeps
Fiery red, a crimson touch
A pleasing, blazing roar
Desire burns so very much
The victim of allure
Shimm'ring silver, steely gaze
Heartless, whisp'ring soul
Frozen grin in misty haze
With eyes as black as coal
A yellow stream of sweetened tho't
Deceptive to the core
Boasts of braggards count for naught
And empty jars will pour
Shaded lines are oft so grey
Not bright as red carnation
So join me now in dance sublime
In colours of temptation
