The Poets Jewels

You amaze me

when I come for a visit

and am offered gems

of such varied hues

such richness

laid out before me

blood red here

sunny yellow there

dark blues

and somber greens

violent purple

and serene whites

all like precious jewels

given freely

for me to hold

but not to keep

for they belong to you

but I may stop

and admire them

I am welcomed within

with a smile

and offered these gems

these jewels

these precious gifts of you

sparkling so brightly

my own love is renewed

and I rush home

eagerly

to persue

my own vast array

of gleaming wonders

yearning for the light

of your eye.
