Ruby's Eyes
Enough to make
The heart quake…
The smile on Ruby’s lips
Enough to cause
The pulse to pause…
The curve of Ruby’s hips
Enough to light
The darkest sky
The sound of Ruby’s sighs…
Enough as such
The feel and touch
The heat of hands and thighs
Enough…and yet not quite
The most stunning sunset
Canna’ match the light
Not the brightest moon
Nor the brightest star
Nor the warmth of love on a night in June
Are not the equal of
But only a sequel to love
…The lovely light in Ruby’s eyes…
