Brass Negligee

Ball-gown beauty lost in the winds of time,
yet still she quickens man's heady desire.   
Her sheathe a burnished hue,
a pendant gossamer blue;
adornment tells
its fickle tale anew. 
 
This temptress fans hot flames of lust and lure
while disinclined to meet the mortal eye.
Her stance a brandished brutal shield;
her lips - eternity has sealed.  
No lines of age
nor sagging flesh revealed. 
 
Woe to those whose dreams foretell illicit love.
Make haste to thwart daylight's robust fervor.
Her form is sturdy testament
to betrayal's harsh decent -
negligee of brass;
women's life lament.

    I love the word sheathe spelt like that, it images us with a medieval feel, and the gallantry so spell-binding. ageless and timeless.

  • I like the imagery of a beautiful girl in a ball gown as well as the color blue. Good waring at the end. You can wast a lot of time chasing beauty and never catch it.

  • Well-expressed in rhyme.

    Thanks for your entry.
