Ruby,  her passionate heart, it was
desires and lust were burning
too hot to the touch, I could not stand
yet she left me wanting and yearning

Diamond her spirit, and all that she was
reflecting her whims and her moods
an emotional whirlwind, a tempest untamed
her beauty and spirit, my food

Pearl, her lovely supple skin I did stroke
it's silky smoothness, soft, warm, & yielding
her essence so intoxicating to breathe
defenses broken and all that 'twas shielding

Sapphire, her eyes, cool blue fire burning
piercing my being to the core
no hidden agenda nor secrets could hide
saw the whole of me and much much more

Emerald, her thoughts, so wild and so green
exposing deep forbidden passions
her world of sensuality screamed
I lost all my reason, control, and my 'ration


Yet...


Onyx, her heart, so black and so cold
midnight's abyss nay compare
careful & wise the choice you must make


pray,


tread lightly if you must dare
