Dark Aemelia

She is prose 
Shakespeare`s lover 
satin once stained 

By each layer 
She is a decade 
of aesthetic 
silhouette 

In crinoline 
Never did 
her bodice 
wrinkle 

From strained 
passion 
an opulent 
flower 

lavishes 
breath 
over 
history


combed 
with lace 
Eternal 
frost 

ethereal 
grace

would like this dreamlike write - full of words like "crinoline" Oh, yes on the ties that bind to accomodate a fashion of the past. Like Chinese feet mutilations - and high heels of the corporate world - layers like decades indeed. Well composed - crisp and minimal. - slc

Lovely read Kornelia, you have the readers fascination; what a whistfull look at a bygone era. But Och! I bet those corsets hurt.
