You are a precious gem
Deserving of the most careful handling
Being polished with a cloth
Well-woven and soft
Until you beam and flicker with
A radiance sublime
A lamp shining upon you
Facets gleaming, throwing light
⋆｡˚✴︎⋆💎⋆✴︎˚｡⋆
Worth beyond all counting
No reciprocation could ever be
Considered fair compensation
For the endowment
Of your pleasurable presence
The present I secretly
Desired above all others
Never have I dared speak the words
Lest they crumble to dust
As the syllables float from my mouth
⋆｡˚✴︎⋆💎⋆✴︎˚｡⋆
Each time you exalt me with
The blessing of your voice
Is an enjoyment I shall never let
Depart the forefront of my mind
Hanging on your illustrious
Elucidations, waiting with
Bated breath for your answers
To my probing questions
Every utterance, a benevolent
Gift of spirit, I shall cherish
Tucked away in the
Archives of love’s memory
