Two Amber-Stones of Sunset Glow

T

Two Amber-stones of sunset glow 

Price any for them I’ll pay 

For they shimmer as lit ebony so

That merchants of seven lands are frayed. 

I am enamoured, disturbed such 

That I have told of them tales replete 

How they are perfumed of misty lavender buds 

And reflected in them is Creation complete. 

They have burnt for centuries, it is said

And will flame on till whole lineages wipe 

But I will gaze upon them on my bed 

Until I myself ignite. 

Two Amber-stones of sunset glow 

Meet eyes mine to make precious four 

And the embrace to result, we both know

Will last for evermore.
