precious stones 2014

  

my love is not a diamond

 as some old poets might suggest

no sharp edges upon which

 I might cut myself

nor is she a nugget gold

 so Grand all men lust after her

 precious and yet not as appealing

 as I might achieve

 my love is a pearl

her skin so smooth

her touch so cool

easy to take under my tongue

to revel on her

to digest her

 as if I am the oyster that gave her birth

my fingers stroking her

 polishing her

feeling her curved flesh

 as vivid in my brain

as if I could see her blind

more precious than all

the precious stones

and all I could ever want
