When You're Gone
When you're gone,
I'll not make you into a diamond,
but a tanzanite marquise cut gemstone.
A pure stone set in shining silver ring,
elaborately wrought Victorian detail,
with a hint at the cathedrals before it.
It would be of best quality,
crystal clear, a liquid freeze
of a thought
of love.
