Kim Rodrigues Poet Free verse

My Precious

i virtually hug the stuffing out of my birthstone,
the moody opal, with its raging volcanic flame —
leaping, delighting, entertaining my eyes.

specks of tinted lipstick - yellow, orange, red
kiss my irises. iridescent charm of color, play
with my mind, body and soul. calmer effects —

of green and blue like leafy trees & Caribbean sea.
Like Frodo, i slide this otherworldly warmth on my finger
rotating the silver band - “my precious” cabochon.
