Solitaire

Gentle but bright she gleams
Her light pecks on crystal steams
The aura quiet a sight to spot
Her charm twists the heart to a knot.
A thing of beauty, forever a joy!
For you and me to see and enjoy -
The star she is, the brightest yet,
Clad in chiffon, draped in Georgette.

She slips in and out of many a guise
Conceals aches in those soulful eyes
Her skill, what skill! It wraps it all,
Obscure behind a see through wall.
She sports a smirk before the strain
Her skill what skill, she masters the feign.
Dancing diva, queen of hearts
Mistress of a thousand arts.

The star she is the brightest yet,
Outshining million peers to threat!
Don't blame her light, it's quiet innate
Her rays, they are immaculate.
The smile that sports hundred delights
Hides the inmost web of plights.
Behold, she is one of a kind
A mystery, a riddle, an enigma - defined!
