the unveiling

my soul a wild sapphire it burns bright in the light
it dazzles the eye, confounds the mind
then in the shade of your doubt, it's just a rock

dances freely while reaching for you
you're not to be found
I bedazzled you, then let you down
but I ask you to look closer
at my reflective surfaces

you will see deep undercurrents of beauty
the sex of me is thrilling but it won't keep you
you desire the truth in me

the truth is the wisdom of me is hidden
for those who would patiently wait on the unveiling
it won't be rushed

it will come in its own time
slowly undressing, a burlesque show
I want to keep you at the edge of your seat guessing
