she emerged from a dark walkway
gliding on violin strings
fingers clutching her hood
as if to touch her flesh, forbidden
speech sounding of harp chords
yet cursed with a slight tone of decay
or an agony laced with unforgiven lies
her frightened blue eyes cause to salivate
sepia-hued skin temptation's test
yet heart equalled to the finest obsidian

An excellent use of a challenging wordbank.
It is a strange picture you paint, but very visual. I very much enjoyed its strangeness (and I do mean that in a nice way) It was very good.

An exellent piece using the wordbank. Deep, dark and thought penetrating. Best wishes with this

a good poem penned, there is a dark mysterious sigh here in your poem i think, i have not looked at the picture but i imagine a girl looking feeling the relams of sorrow as she walks.
