Z= Diamonds are Not Forever


from the ABC set Unordered Tales

Dream stealer dream stealer

Steal me a dream

Golden in substance

With platinim seam

Studded with diamonds

Restore, all once mine

My charms are long faded

Jewels, stolen by time

Precious is amber's

Warm temperate trust

Taken asunder

Now ground into dust

Rubies bright crimson

Once worshiped once true

Snatched from my being

Burnished by ebonies hue

Emerald's passion

Once tempted, might

Vanished, from grasp

For there's nothing to plight

Sapphires like oceans

Cerulean compose

Besieged, leaving bitter

A thorn, without rose

This evening grant wishes

And prosper the seams

Transpire this spirit

Encrusting her dreams

For this earth, has no want

For a thorn without rose

And I would have jewels

But for, love that I chose
