Cognac - (55 words)
By wattle

wattle - no one special, just a dreamer who found an old pen.

A Diamond set to attract central focus surrounded by cheap dominant white zirconia imitations. Her gorgeous curves and strategically placed facets magnifying the cognac splendour of her rich heritage.

Her beauty displayed for all and held by few. Occasionally discerning visitors possessed by a desire to touch will notice the teardrop refraction of her heart.

I guess you're just wary of wearing out that old pen too quickly. 
I felt this was closer in spirit to a poem and with a bit of modifying would make a very fine one. I like the images and metaphors you counjured up.

With Jane on this one. In spirit, poetic. I liked the duality and to and fro of meaning. Not just a metaphor, almost playing with the reader. Much the best of your recent trio of flashes.
