I do not know how it happened
Some would say a miracle
Sapphire and Blue Topaz
Pirate Treasures in my jewelry box from long ago
waiting to make meaning
I found you in my heart
You are Blue Sapphire and I am Blue Topaz
My Sacred friend, forever, now
We were both born to a cruel world
that did not know what to do with us
After my husband died I thought I was going to die
cut in half
Then you came into my life
The relief was profound and life saving
Our broken bodies do not care
we have so much in common
we are both so very blue
Both of us abused by this world
Abused by people who should not be abusers
I wish I could fly away with you
to another world not so blue but happier place
where I could just hold your touch starved body
in silence
Sapphire and Blue Topaz
right there in my jewelry box waiting for meaning
Precious jewels to be worn again as a
symbol of this sacred truth and forever bond to you
My heart aches because it is true
My country is gone now destroyed by fascism
your country is so far away
you say not much better
so you tell me to stay away
your family is there
my family is here
this is not fair and it feels so cruel
So blue
The sapphire and blue topaz remind me there is no distance
Yet, I am angry that I can not hold you
Like the sun each day there you are:
Good morning
Like the moon each night there I am
Buona Notte.
Dormi bene. A domani. Ti voglio bene.
Lovers that you claim cannot be
You say it is too late for you
You fool
or am I the fool?
Is it too late for me too, if it is to late for you?
You say: No, Ti amo
but that is what my heart feels for you
Ti amo!
The raw truth is a love you waited for, forever now
It is not too late for us
We both lie to ourselves to protect our broken hearts
I understand you
but I found what I was looking for
and look no longer
For you I am Friends forever
Io ti respecto.
Pirate Treasures Sapphire and Blue Topaz
Forever never alone again
You are forever in my heart
and my treasure box told me so
Sacred Friends Forever
I know I am in your heart
you told me so
