Porcelain



Skin
Soft as velvet, smooth as satin,
A sight to behold, a touch so divine,
The envy of all who catch a glimpse,
A beauty that leaves them weak at the knees.

Scars
Rough as leather, hard as stone,
A roadmap of battles fought and won,
A reminder of the strength within,
The mark of a warrior, a badge of honor.

Eyes
Bright as stars, deep as oceans,
A window to the soul, a mirror of emotion,
A story of love, laughter, and pain,
A connection to the world, a link to the arcane.

Heart
Wild as the wind, free as a bird,
Beating with passion, a flame that's never deterred,
A fire that burns bright, a force to be reckoned with,
A heart that loves fiercely, never willing to quit.

Mind
Mysterious as the night, wise as an owl,
A labyrinth of thoughts, a treasure trove of soul,
A universe of dreams, a sanctuary of peace,
A mind that's always seeking, never willing to cease.
