A Gem's Love

 

Every soul hovers through life

searching for the rarest gem.

A jewel sacred to their heart,

one that can flourish, cherish and nurture another.

We roam through life, day by day,

to find stones of love;

a bond that fades, dependant upon partaken rings of truth.

Trust, honesty and communication extends this love;

deceit, dishonesty and distance deteriorates it.

Love is like a dance,

susceptible to the winds of change, swirling through clouds.

Mists of doubt and jealousy intrude,

soon this dance crawls to a searing end,

to wait for the next to sweep them off their lonely feet, once again.

A creation of a repetitive loop can distinctively form,

slowly eating away the heart's innocence

until the day they meet a precious gem.

The only stone pure enough to hold a true, real and phenomenal love,

to feel it so strongly, times where it's almost impossible to think

about anything except that one beautifully radiant gem, in their eyes;

may appear as an ordinary stone through the gaze of another.

A gem that glitters and sparkles in the sun; lusts under the moon.

Soul mates can give birth to the truest love,

destined to be together forever and into the heavens for all eternity.
