Rubies crimson red
Sapphires indigo blue
Emeralds pure green
Deep dark royal hue
Amethysts of lavender
Pearls translucent white
Draped against my skin
Triple strands my hearts delight
Twenty-four carat diamonds
Blinded by their facets
Stones of cut and quality
Enamored of their assets
Dripping head to toe in jewels
Glowing in their decadence
Sparkle and glisten in the light
Shining with such radiance
But I would trade all these gems
To be with you awhile
These baubles pale in comparison
To the brilliance of your smile
When I'm wrapped in your arms
Your lips on mine pure bliss
For I'd be the richest girl of all
From the golden wealth of your kiss
