15. Material Girl
My man in black
loved to lavish,
making it rain
green paper
all over my brolly.
He gave me gaudy, fantasy, and Gucci,
He gave me rings, diamonds and jewelry,
He gave me Louboutins and Givenchy.
I was Opulence;
He was Providence.
I was the Pearl of the Far East,
living in la ville de l'amour,
within my palace of dreams.
He was the desert, the hot sun,
and when he left, the oasis
was but a mirage and my empire
lost to the sands of time.


A/N: The challenge was to incorporate somehow the words ring, gaudy, lavish and paper.
