Meditations VI

[forlorness]

Value of a Ruby Gem

On your chest it rests,

Surrounded by a cage of silver

Suspended in a soft chamber.

Take a deep breath and

Feel it rise, feel it fall.

Show it off to gain adoration.

Hide, so it’s not stolen,

Give, it to the wrong person -

Realise, after it’s broken.

Had it touched,

In a night of sensational passion.

Feel it flutter, feel it call.

What a gem you hold?

Ruby, not gold

Its value

Worthless

Unless you

Feel it,

Let it go.
