Gleaming ringlets cascade down her pearl toga
Shimmering, ivory cloth ripples like crystal water
Glittering, precious gold swirls across her bronze skin
Jewelled, ruby flames flicker and flash in her warm, brown eyes
Sharply, carved marble forms a majestic fireplace
Sparkling, crimson sprites dance, lighting the soaring hall
Ferocious warriors and tired travellers come home to the silky, amber light
