Suzanne Hopkins Poet I do not know?

Pebbles and Stones

You followed me on the path of pebbles and stones.
I could see you behind  but never felt so all alone. 
Whats that distance, that demon,  that's become that part within?
Devouring your body and your mind. Mass confusion,  it's  a sin.  
I saw through trees to the shore,  and the sparkle shone through. 
I could feel it in me but I felt nothing from you. 
I have tried and I have failed at finding gems in souls.
Uncovering  fragments of ash and consuming  black holes. 
We dangled the cliff , the sun setting low. 
I saw you beside me,  your emanating glow. 
Your thoughts  were in mine. I could feel your touch. 
Your hands were on the rock, you were glowing that much.
The shimmer, the glitter, so hidden yet so true. 
You see what’s before me, but I can see inside of you. 
The waves scatter the surface, travelling ripples in time. 
Our hearts were beating in sync, together yours feeling mine. 
As the darkness set in, the air became still.
We walked through the moonlight descending the hill.
The bottom of the trail, covered in ashes.
A fire had been burning , an empty book of matches.
A shiny stone in the distance mirroring 
the stars in the sky.
I could see it in the stone, I can see it in your eye.
