I’m ruby red for passion
Blue sapphire like the sky
Turquoise like the ocean
These gems I have inside
Bluish green in daytime
Purplish red at night
Alexandrite symphony
Reveals my inner light
An amethyst so peaceful
It brings me inner calm
Aquamarine tranquility
My soul sings along
Bloodstone for courage
Citrine golden hues
Diamond strength for purity
So many gems to choose
I was born from stardust
Gems of rainbow hues
I suspect that probably
you my friend, were too.

You salted my worth
With so many senses
Love and harmony so divine
Intervention and open fences
And yet I search
This world of souls
Completion of doubt
To make me whole
As if shopping
For linens and things
Diamonds and alexandrite
Romantic gold rings
But no material
Can replace you
My love my soul
I bid you adiu

Concluded
Elves, dwarves, mini giants, and hobbits all performed.
But last was Fili as he strutted to the middle of the glen.
Secretly clutching his alexandrite lode, he flew
Straight up ten feet with a view for all to see.
Fireflies flew erratically around him, a ghostly shine.
As Fili moved his clutched hand, he turned.
Somersaulted, spun and returned to his standing stance.
Below the people of the glen clapped in awe.
But now Fili was worried, how was he to descend
And thus receive his well merited prize?
It was the River-maid who rescued him, as she flew
And whispered in his ear. Change the lode to the left hand
She whispered, giving him a luscious kiss.
Soon Fili landed and the Fairy Queen beckoned him.
You can take your first midnight skinny dipping and eat all
The strawberries you like so much, she graciously said.
She took his lode, put it on a crown and on his head it sat.
And now Fili, the hero, was annoyed no more.

A GEM THAT TRICKS
A Aficionados of gems find this gem emerald by day,ruby by night
G Gem so rare and ravishing turns trickster in the light
E Embellishment in gold to adorn your beloved’s ring or pendant
M Mother Nature’s chameleon in stone, shiny and resplendent !
T This shares its status as June birthstone with cultured pearl and moonstone
H Hosts a magic show this pleochroic gem through its dramatic colour tone
A Alexandrite is this precious gemstone genuinely gracious sans prudery
T This mined in the Urals, named after Czar, seen in prized estate jewellery
T The ladies with pride can flaunt one stone as two, in day and in night
R Radiating green or purplish red matching their dresses with delight
I Invest once on this dear hubbies, it will save you from demand twice
C Chrysoberyl is the embedded mineral causing colour changes so nice
K Kaleidoscope of gems this is with vivid hues and healing energy
S Strengthens creativity and intuition as believed in astrology!

They said you were worthless,
no better than coal,
I would not be jaded,
I could feel your soul.
The diamond in your eyes,
lights up my day,
Your ruby lips brush my face
and wipe my tears away.
Shoulders strong as granite
you shield my pain,
An embracing heart of gold
for me to sustain.
You’re my amethyst that brings me
the sweetest of dreams,
Creativity is roused by your amber gaze,
so it seems,
As rare as alexandrite, I found you,
you are mine.
Coal or diamond, my precious gem
a most wonderful design.
*Dedicated to my husband on our
29th Wedding Anniversary.
