Black hair
Turquoise eyes
Diamonds in her hair
Sapphires at her throat
Amber on her ears
Clothed in obsidian jeweled garments
Black as night, as the raven
A shawl the colour of her eyes is draped around her slim shoulders
Her lithe light form glides gracefully down the stairs
She moves with the skill
And elegance of a feline, smoothly
Her eyes sparkle in the candlelight
I blink once, twice
Shake my head, how could such a beauty be here
With me
As I turn to look again, she is gone
A black cat stands where she was
My heart beats faster, sweat gathers on my brow
I crumple to the floor, twitching.
