treasure

-
a treasure discovered quietly
glimmers in the moon's light
yellow sheen
flash of green
jewels set on alabaster white

stretching out to be gathered in
collected in a long embrace
precious bangles
golden tangles
pressed now against my face

for greater gain I must let go
all that I hold and cherish
gold's warm hues
stones' red and blue
released before they perish

not enough

-
Would it ever be enough, even if I try would I ever get through, do more than get by Would I be enough, be enough for you? Is there any hope, or the slightest chance Before the music's over will I get the dance? and would it be enough, be enough for you? Too little of me I know it's true Fading quickly into the blue I'm not enough, not enough for you This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License
