Ruby Wild

So wistfully you glow
crimson
passions ultimatum
your laughter's wake calls sleep
inside
dreary eyed and privileged
to lay beneath your feet
the ground quivers
eyes that see your mouth
those whispers
unknowing
to the rhythm of your hair
crystallized music
your face is the dance floor
foolish thoughts are entertained there
earnest
who else could create a fit so right
a palette so perfect
through a blind man's broken eyes
wish to see all too cruelly
in subtle fairness
the value of a Ruby.
