Lighted Island
My lighted island, Hidden somewhere behind the red rocks, Somewhere between the jingling of bangles As I reach out to you. My lighted island, Lies behind the rusted walls of the blue city, Among the trembling of my long earrings. My lighted island, Winks at me from the colors of the bustling market, I find it in the strong scent of fish, In the muffled...

Girl with a Pearl Earring
Whenever I stare at you, you also gaze. You have beautiful eyes; I'm amazed. Words cannot convey the turban's grace, Its presence adds to your beauty's embrace. Your bright face, your sparkling eyes, Your fancy pearl, your charming smiles All are attractive, all are impressive, All are simple, all are amazing. But, Maria, whispers linger, Making you seem...

A simple girl I'm your tronie In a fleeting moment I turn my head My eyes...

Atop my mirrored dresser are earrings, and many pretty pairs are on display along with necklaces and other things. I love my jewelry but oh, one day! I saw a lovely pair had lost one mate!

Nobody knows I have it But I know it’s still there Your earring in my pocket Let’s me pretend you care You left it just the other night I found it on the floor Your earring in my pocket Gives me hope that there is more It’s just a little thing It’s not part of the plan With your earring in my pocket For a moment...

That pensive look on her sweet face Just like a child of mine. Her eyes seem to follow you with Dominion that's divine.
