In this distorted, twisted reality
I can only look inward for great beauty
You, the sparkling gem in mind's eye, perfect symmetry
Near infinite facets in depths undreamt
Slightest movement showing new angles, points of view
Reflection of myself illuminates
Not being absorbed by the me you see
Rather, relishing the time past and especially to come
Delving into the core of the jewel you are
To know, understand whence derives your strength
Joy in following the endless planes
Losing myself amidst gleams of pure soul
Ruby, the feral, sensual beast
Warm, loving comfort of emerald
Cool, refreshing sapphire laughter
Topaz, trusting friendship
Ambiguous, feminine opal, intuitive flecks bursting
Diamond, forged with heat, pressure
Shaped, created, drawing blood, deserving adoration
Flawless
