Analysis of The veil of time
Her eyes,
A black fountain of countless, sordid, tales.
Her skin,
A livid honey in a world of olive branches.
Her lips,
A tainted reminiscence of the ambrosial sweet apple.
Her hands,
A primordial caress, hidden in the veil of time.
Her heart,
A concealed shape, by the gentle strokes of paint.
Lisa rises
Seizes the veil
Sways the time
And hinders her way
