Like Grains of Sand Through the Hour Glass

Love paints the sand
on winds of indescribable ecstasy
brush-stroking the width and breadth of her
light

Love that indescribable element
formed and captured in whimsy
like moments when a shadow smiles
all the while loosing direction.

Deep beneath the midnight blue
inside the breath of a seashell's
mouth, you drink me in and spin me
'round, whirling while spinning a
treasured gem.

Gritty to the touch of teeth
running along the edge of seamless
beads, tantalizing and immortalized...
colours far in range: black the hidden...

mystery of untold wealth
pink the universal symbol of love
or simply the mesmerizing "pearl"
the color of true love.

Author notes

color me pink and culture us a pearl of wisdom

    Eh... well... I think that this was very deep... a wonderful poem indeed that is without doubt at least silver worthy.... My only dislike was all the pink... It didn't really go i don't think... other than that this was great.
