Amethysts

By Kimberley Pearson

A jewel of the Nile

It’s pink tourmaline

Amethyst eyes

Rubies for bed

Sapphires for toes

 

A hidden pearl

A heart like a 6-cut diamond

Like pink crystal

Turned before the moon

 

Give her a trope

And enough rope

I’ll run interference for a while

Until the water runs

Crystal clear

Then they will see

Oh, why did she reject me

 

An estate outside the city

A penthouse at the beach

A place on the harbour

A lake house with a boat

 

Is there a Dove waiting in the Spring

It’s a wonderful world

A hidden pearl

My heart shines

Like a 6 cut diamond

Like pink crystal

Turned before the moon

A beauty in disguise

 

An Arabian Desert Sunset

I will never forget

White powder snow

White powder beach

 

Après ski in the afternoon

It’s a place by the fire

By a bar at the chalet

It’s a sunrise from

The night before

 

It’s a deserted beach

We had a tender for two

It’s a palm frond

And champagne for two

 

A jewel of the Nile

It’s pink tourmaline

Amethyst eyes

Rubies for bed

Sapphires for toes
