Gem of a Love

GEM OF A LOVE Oh, hasten you capricious wind To the ear of my dear gem lover And a crystalline love song softly sing So she could think, nay, dream of no other. Go! Quicken you cast-iron clouds To the chamber of my Star Sapphire, To the jewel of my heart…come loud! Thunder in her ear, ring with precious fire. Do beckon mountain and nature all To gather your immortal power And express my polished passionate call, A timeless necklace to adorn this flower. Come Earth, come Heaven, brilliant stream! Our gem of a love to endless gleam. For: GEM FOR YOUR VERSE POETRY CONTEST Re: prize ~ necklace

Thank you Carolyn, this was a fun exercise for me because I, too, am a collector of stones. Glad we both got something out of it.
