Fragrance of Ruby
Her gaze alone
enslaved her suitors
Wrapped in velvet
and curls abound
Her feet spun threads
of gold as she walked
laying jewels and beauty
for all to share
Birds fought to fly behind,
her breath warmed the air
with her magical fragrance
Ruby red, scarlet passion
But heart of stone
Untouched by none
