Jewels

I like the shine, sparkles divine

An endlessness all set to survive

Catch my eye, catch my heart

I'll cash it in when time arrives

Bad poems, good jewellery

Winning combo, materially

I wait for them to judge, shame to usher me to shut

But I smile, knowing the colour, facet and cut

I wear them often

Or auction them up

It's world wide currency

All offered a cut

Now it's money for me and for you

Though future for me, past for you,

I dangle it whenever need be

Emeralds, shiny sapphires and rubies too

There's glamour here, glory too

There's an eternal edge to the sharpness I decide

With my lips ruby ready for you

With my arms open bracelet wide

You love giving it to me

I love its receiving

There's not much you can tempt me with, love

Unless it is gleaming
