Precious Pearl

Between shells
in an oyster
hidden from the world

Held firmly
I left 
a teardrop

Buried in the ocean of heartbreaks
caressed by the rain falling in memory off
one lost treasure bathes 

A cold lonely stare looks for direction
held in the shell of my heart
inlaid to rest mother of pearl

Holding you so deep inside darkened skies
who brought the thunder in roaring aches
lightning strikes falling in pain

In a sun kissed mist one treasured rainbow 
appears looking at the pot of gold
I open the treasure chest one more time

Slowly opening the shell leaving the teardrop 
upon your pillow happy to love dreaming forever in you 
a sparkle caressed by the oceans wave
