Emeralds and Saphires

We were not cut as diamonds,
An expensive bauble with traditions and so many rules to follow,
We were emeralds and saphires,
Hues of sadness and envy,
Longings and jealousy.

And when we collided together as the brilliant jewels we both are,
We forged into one ruby,
The color of flames and desire,
We became the shade of passion,
And an eternal love that will last for eternity.

Sir or Madame I don't know who you are talking about my ex 's last name is not dunn And I don't talk to my ex-or have anything to do with him, he is a dangerous fellow, so please do not compare my writing to who ever this man is, my stuff is from me alone, no one else, and please don't bring up my ex-again to me, he was very abusive and mean, he's in my past and don't appreciate him being brought up at all, CHERYL DUNN
