Best Agates Poems

My
poet’s 
life (not known
then as such) flowed
along life’s swift course
rippling with glee and roaming youth’s chasms.

It then streamed relentlessly to the Now.
I polish agates
left in...

Sometimes, when I gaze at thee
I am confused by what I see
Some kind of dichotomy

Eggs and agates

Protective shell
Fragile
Easily broken
Fluid thoughts and emotions within
Needing warmth and...

My life, like everybody else’s, is a treasure trove
with a mine from which one’s treasures are derived.
The familial bonds we form are platinum; our friendships...

Stepping over the threshold
Locating the floor buttons
I press the 3rd floor

Disfigured long flames curl around
Cherished memories-

Dry spruce branches smoking...

Eternal granite, crystalline scree, agates, boulders, rise
to hills, towering tors,* mutinous mountains, endlessly growing
rising, lifted,  then toppled by the fiery rebirth of draconic lava**

Stilled by hands uncertain of
Direction or destiny,...

While organisms and plants across the terrain grow
Just trying to take care of business and lay low

Tranquility is
Amethyst skies
And
Lapis seas
Sprinkled 
With
Diamond dust.

Jade fields of
Topaz and malachite
Dancing
In the 
Suns rays.

Agate gardens
Filled with 
Swirling
Flower colors.

Amazonite grapes
Filled with
Liquid
Crystal juice.

Deserts of jaspers
And
Agates
Of all races.

In day light and pitch blackness
For the sane and those in strait jackets

Dammit
Still sporadic
 Caught in transit
Can't rely on magic

A wild guess;
Called them agates, steelies and...

Ebony skies a backdrop for salty,
sweet staccato ecstasy
a tune of elation.

Ivory limbs play out crescendos
upon seabed gems, crystalline towers,
aquamarine dreams and tortoise shell agates;

they mimic many things.  
From poppies to a leopard’s spots, 
their pictures really sing.  

It weighs much less...
