Ruby and Sapphire
z
When we first met
Your eyes were like Sapphires
Dull with worry
Then sparkling with joy
When I agreed to help you.
So for a few days
Sapphires haunted my sleep.
z
I knew I would do anything
To see that sparkle again.
z
When next we met
Your eyes were Ruby.
Shielded from me
And the rest of the world.
And for a time
Ruby and Sapphire
Mingled in my dreams.
z
That light
That sparkle
The joy whenever you saw me.
I did not recognize your eyes
But I recognized that light.
z
And I would do anything
To see that sparkle again.
z
And then I discovered that
Ruby and Sapphire
Were one and the same
And I must admit
I was relieved.
z
And I remember
That time
When you looked at me
With that beloved sparkle
And said
"I love your Sapphire eyes."
