The Sugar-Coated Sapphire
Stifling the senses with scurrilous dint,The jinxed nymph jostles with jest;
Little does the juvenile mind know,
That she had ventured into landscapes low.
Trapped in the tentacles of tainted treachery,
The gem rusts in the shadows of vanity;
The sapphire is eclipsed by that mystical membrane,
Yet she embraces it,unsure of the gain.
The attrahent aura grew and dazzled with hue,
The outcome visible like morning dew;
Petals and praises were showered in plenty,
But none acknowledged by that dolesome deity.
Soon the Cinderella tale faded into thin air,
Lost was the charm for none cared to stare;
The paragon now transformed into a mere pebble,
And the beauty vanished in the verses of this fable.
