Pebble

I am as decorated as the virgin bride,
sparkling in her pale and unblemished skin,
arm in arm with the stranger I adore,
who brings me presents and tales easy to spin.

So deep, it is, it goes, drifting in sapphire,
cooling my curves with a caress and embrace,
alone but not lonely, enshrouded in light
I am but a dreamer dallying with naked grace.

Safe from stars and sun as I slumber in peace,
sinking deeper into this ocean of wonder I have found,
my white dress lost to the roiling passion,
as finally my body lays upon the ground.

Making me strong and smooth over years of love,
yet I feel myself lose what I once have been,
I keep my faith but fear that I am alone in that,
surrounded by other pebbles more glamorous than me.
