Pools of Sapphire
Pools of Sapphire
It was a moment locked in time
The first time I saw her there
A moment inspiring me to rhyme
As I was lost inside the stare
There inside those pools of mystery
I saw such beauty all around
Never throughout my history
Had such beauty been found
The colors of the ocean
Filled with such exquisite life
So peaceful as we basked in the sun
No pain, no sadness, no strife
We walked the golden beaches
Holding hands, I smile as I see
The look that warmly reaches
Deep down into the soul of me
Each second was as a year
Incredible love we would share
Few words could I hear
In that glorious ten year stare
I was hers forever in just one year
My love gradually grew in year two
Three, the words I longed to hear
In four and evermore, “I love you”
Such joy we shared in year five
So naturally we belonged together
Our love making us glad we were alive
Our hearts light as a feather
Years six through nine were sublime
But it was ten that went so fast
Then I was slowly brought back
Only those few seconds had passed!
As we break the stare I see
The smile upon her sweet lips
I wonder if she was with me
In the land where time slips
In my dreams I see and feel
Those eyes that fill me with desire
To give to her, to yield my will
Floating in pools of sapphire
