Oh ocean of that long-gone embryo
Careening stormy erratic, to pacific
Ever sculpting in navy-wavy trance
Atop your peaks diamond ambrosia
Never-never dreams, you've grown ~
Troughs, they stripped fear’s heart
Rendering a wanderer, now braver
Enameling away sea-shine opaline
as Nautili curling their striped sola
Soak me up to float down in blues
undulating in the sunk, spilled sou
roughened in a barnacle-concealer
Estuary-rich, unfurl the flowing life ~

Much I marveled the splendid beautiful jewels of Taylor
I heard the Liberian, tall regarding of her gold;
Eagerly I looked for the Alexander Baylor;
Envied here for evermore precious rubies sold;
In service to the throne must I remind her?
Soft is your touch;
Alas the diamond is rough;
Take thy coal from out my heart;
Compress it with power ignited this rock;
Rubies and gold are just a start;
Gatherings of precious jewels ravages;
Instead I uncovered the rose quartz;
And its eyes have all the enameling savages;
I could not awaken that gilded, gilded spark lings;
My eyes blinded by the brilliant gems;
Gold and diamonds are my favorite precious gem;
