Ruby's Secret Perfume

She had seven names, though which one she answered to depended entirely upon her mood… An enchanted kiss of blood-red berries and scarlet plums with beguiling French vanilla praline, rose musk, spicy carnation, gardenias, and sensual amber. "Upon her lips, a secret lies A ruby's hue, a lustrous guise. Whispered words, she never spoke, Yet, her scarlet lips never broke. What mysteries lay behind that smile? A thousand stories that beguile. Her silent lips, a poet's dream, A canvas where fantasies gleam." - Emily Dickenson Art: Before a Mirror, Fernand Vácha
