yeah some of it rhymes, bite me...it is a natural rhyme scheme, not forced.

To the man whos gem I stole
I'm sorry.
My eyes had never seen
the beauty and the shine,
the turquoise that it offered.

My anxious hand can be harsh
I know it.
But a stone so small and smooth
should never be let loose
where a wandering eye may see

Its sparkle, its draw, its blue,
its hyptnotism.
My immorality still haunts me
though the bulkrock had dropped free
as I ran from the garden.

And where does this beauty stay?
I cannot say.
I left it lost alone
and ran, scared, from youth
toward a place you'd never find.

But still, I think of turquoise,
how lost is she.
For stealing is my most wrong,
And surely God will mark this down
as I'm sure you have done,
Mr. Right.



Comments! Please!

My Lost Turquoise

To the man whose gem I stole:
I'm sorry.
My eyes had never seen
The beauty, much less the shine,
The turquose that it offered.

My anxious hand can be harsh
I know it.
But a stone so smooth and neat
Should never be let loose
Where a wandering eye may see

Its sparkle, its draw, its blue
Its hypnotism.
My failed attempt still drags me
Though the bulkrock had dropped free
as I ran from the garden,

Ducking and dodging into familiarity.
That blue fruit,
That object of my desire
That was yours a decade before
And still not mine today.

But you should know, I think of turquoise,
How lost is she.
For stealing is my most wrong
And surely God will mark this down
As I'm sure you have done,
Mr. Right.

I think it's good. The best poems are usually written with little revision, but I like it. You should keep on writing.
