Pools of Sapphire

Pools of Sapphire It was a moment locked in time The first time I saw her there A moment inspiring me to rhyme As I was lost inside the stare There inside those pools of mystery I saw such beauty all around Never throughout my history Had such beauty been found The colors of the ocean Filled with such exquisite life So peaceful as we basked in the sun No pain, no sadness, no strife We walked the golden beaches Holding hands, I smile as I see The look that warmly reaches Deep down into the soul of me Each second was as a year Incredible love we would share Few words could I hear In that glorious ten year stare I was hers forever in just one year My love gradually grew in year two Three, the words I longed to hear In four and evermore, “I love you” Such joy we shared in year five So naturally we belonged together Our love making us glad we were alive Our hearts light as a feather Years six through nine were sublime But it was ten that went so fast Then I was slowly brought back Only those few seconds had passed! As we break the stare I see The smile upon her sweet lips I wonder if she was with me In the land where time slips In my dreams I see and feel Those eyes that fill me with desire To give to her, to yield my will Floating in pools of sapphire
