Brown Eyed Gem
Flowing streams of silk and satin,
Kissed by the scents of lilac and honeysuckle
Fall from my fingertips like gossamer webs
Soft on my lonely cheek as plush velvet
Carvings in white marble from ancient quarries
Smoothed by the hands of the all divine artist
Seem so angelic to me, so soft and so perfect
Are within my grasp, and yet so far from my touch
Mysterious stars of dark brown topaz
Holding tight a pain I wish I could relieve
So many times I wake from dreams of holding beauty
And wish she was in my grasp, and wish I was in her heart
Words can not describe what God can create
Nor can I speak of anything that is quite the same
She is more beautiful than I could ever write
And that is why she is so vast upon my dreams
