Rubies, sapphires, and emeralds, gems of such great worth
Gems beyond price and beauty from the bowels of the earth
Sought for and dreamed of, fought over and even died for
When all said and done just pieces of mineral from mother earths core...
Placed in gold and platinum settings, price beyond compare
Stored in vaults to precious are some, but still bits of mineral to be fair
Reds and greens, blues for sure, these gems stone are beauteous things
Nothing says I love you more, than gemstones set in golden rings.
For me these beauteous bits of glass that bedeck the bodies of some
Bought for gifts and treasured always, these little baubles of fun…
The best gemstone of all is ‘adamas’ or unbreakable from the ancient Greek
But it’s the qualities of this superlative gem, that is what I seek...
Its superlative physical attributes mean, it’s hard beyond compare
Allotrope of carbon spewed by volcanoes, and it is still rather rare
This gemstone which is a diamond, and guys this is the best surprise
I don't want even the remnant of a diamond, just the glint like diamond of love in your eyes…

Camouflaged in nakedness
beauty
he ate of nature's finest fruit
without dropping a sweat to
reap
without a bleeding wound
the beasts of land and the life
that wings
he subdued
Being the first begotten
the wonder incomprehensible
of a stature of absoluteness
Love and worship came
with no tears of pain and
sacrifice
like the infinite, he consent
with all
The moon never brought him
nightmares
under darkness, was no evil to
haunt him
from within his spirit was the
illumine of the sun
With nature watered by dew
he never saw the skies
overcast and
rivers smoothly find their way
to the silent oceans
But being of earth, the heart
weak in passion
his flesh beguiled him from
perfection
and his soul fell to the foot of
the tree
where drying leaves fell and
cover his nudity off his seeing
eyes
and knowing the coming wrath,
with death he coheres
