Crystaline Charm.
As soon as I caught its crystaline charm
I knew I must buy it.
Inside the shape
of blown-ball orb a serpentine vermiform
wrought light convolutions.
Paperweight spirals
snaked upward, black-gold art rendered
glass as wreathing tendrils
crafted in liquid
that transformed asp into fish then bird.
Meandering shapes
from sinuous kinks to wavering images
with silver-pearl eyes,
lithe curls revealed movement
coiled as reptilian likeness
in congealed glass.
Entrapped in transparent artistic talent
sphere and myself exchange
mystic love of scintillation
Clearly bent on twisting
my senses its shape-shifter silhouettes
ellipsed opalescence with desire
I could not resist.
As soon as I caught its crystaline charm
I knew I must buy it.
