Worth

The whole world went up in gold when she entered the room

All became silent except the rush of blood to ruby cheeks

With her the world changed

Rules were suggestions - directions were useless

The sidewalks in the afternoon where glowing - amber glazed

I fell all too often into the labyrinth that held emeralds in her eyes

Her spirit was wild, new to the Earth

she explored with no inhibitions or worry.

The sun shined garnet light on her face alone

She walked on the pads of her feet to get a better view

but I kept the best view all to myself

Her laughter was reminiscent of diamonds encircled in a ring -

I don't remember falling in love with her silver tongue and golden heart

I just know that when I held her hand

I could only think about was how much it would hurt to let go.

When the gilded light faded

She was left as just an imprint in my vision
