Robert James Liguori Poet Free verse

The Onyx Stone

Deep in the forest is a huge stone
completely made of onyx
and it sits there and shimmers

I visit this stone to pray
as I sit at its base
and wish wonders to be had 
with the love of my life

And the stone talks to me
it says I will have happiness
and my love and I 
will be as one

I polish the stone of onyx
with a soft cloth
and it shines so bright 

This stone tells me the truth 
and says I will find my way
with my love 

I shall leave the stone
and I will get married
and will always be thankful
for the wisdom it shed

Ink Empress January 17, 2025 at 11:41 PM Dear robert, i love the title, as i used to love onyx stones, altho now i prefer black diamonds to onyx, however youv written a very engaging tale, with effortless storytelling throughout on love and more, and having faith and finding light through nature and more: so much has been expressed here and i think you can do storytelling very well: maybe you should write a book of short stories: will keep readers eager to read till the end! Pleasure reading you today: sending you light always
