Amulet

At first

I only saw you / in the company of others

In dark places / & I knew-

It had to be-

You were spoken for

I knew that THAT / was your man , but you & I

still had a secret smile

then / which captured

any available light / to reflect back to me

& oh, my love.. I cant forget you

Now; and I know you doubt me, but

I SAW you then , truly - a gemstone

The glittering ring

On the Rajah’s finger /

an amulet/

Between your heart

& mine

With no setting , no chain -

A jewel / for your heart / in exchange for my own
