Sapphirine

Sapphirine

Faded gold

does trace the thread

of things not gone

and not quite dead.

~

Like tinsel then

in glinting eyes

does careful mend

bring bluer skies.

~

I tread upon

a bluer ocean

divided on

a zero quotient.

~

In truer blue

are eyes that cast

hateful stares 

and loving glances,

at a pair that no longer dances.

~

Only wishing now

to show you how

I meant it then

and mean it now.

~

Eyes much bluer,

forever skewered

by glancing then

and staring now.
