The Rarest Gem

Tanzanite in my crown glittering bright
Jadeite cool touches my breast at a ball
Grandidierite graces a ring at night
But just one lost my soul will bring a squall 

Red Beryl Emerald decorates ring
A lovely jewel so rare formed of magma
Love puts a person's spirit in high esteem
A soft  blanket warm worn like manta

Black Opal's varied colors bring delight
Dancing necklace against a little dress
Jeremejevite clear to pale blue sight
Dazzles searching eyes with lustful distress

Let love be the rarest most valuable
A rare gem to adorn a crown affable

Anna-Marie Docherty Date: 10/26/2016 5:47:00 AM Love your display of gemstones in this colourful write. A sure treat for anyone but you are right about the preciousness of love of course... something indeed to treasure and once lost is so hard to replace to same degree... for individuals enrich our lives in ways sometimes we don't see until they are gone...

I appreciate your presence at my page..I think in so many relationships that one party does something to destroy trust then it is hard for love to come back into play..Your review and comments were so helpful..Sara
