Burgundy

In ruby-hued satin, she pirouettes alone,

Her form a silhouette against the tone

Of evening's blush, where shadows softly play,

Amidst the burgundy that wraps her frame at bay.

With every step, the fabric billows wide,

A skirt of old-money elegance inside,

Yet her bare skin glistens like polished stone,

Ethereal, untainted, utterly her own.

Her arms, entwined, create a pose of grace,

A Botticelli vision in a modern space,

As if the nymphs of ancient lore had come,

To dance and twirl, unbound by mortal thumb.

Time stands still in this suspended scene,

Where art and life entwine, a sanguine dream,

Of freedom's fleeting nature and its hold,

On hearts that beat within a living mold.

She is a vision born of color, light,

And the intoxicating thrill of unbridled might,

A fleeting moment preserved in embered thought,

Of a woman bold, in radiance untaught.
