She Burns Brightly

Beauty needs no color
garish flutters drawn
sensual insinuations
moths chasing
eternal flames
warmth bestowed
by presence

She burns brightly

    Oh thank you so much.. I was dreading getting to the end of this, because usually when I see poems with several short descriptive lines, they are just that... Meaningless descriptions and they don't have any verbs or closure at the end, its just a pile of pretty adjectives... I HATE THAT... But you didn't do that, you gave it an ending, I'm so proud...

    Phew, okay, sorry for the ramble, but its one of my pet peeves.. So thankyou for not piling up a bunch of adjectives and leaving them with no purpose..

    This is epic, and certainly deserving of a trophy. The words are so soft and soothing to the mind.
