Best Birthstones Poems
On one side
of the frothy banks of the mind,
is the river of endless death.
With its eddies of blood
heckling swirls of hopelessness.
Every day peck-pecking away.
Until there's no trace of what you were
or what you could have been.
Only black wreathed moles carrying the soul...
into the deepest black hole of night.
On the other side
of the frothy banks of the mind.
A pearly river of life.
With its swirls of hope.
Eddies of love and light.
Every day an endless golden array
of heartwarming sprays.
Lifting the mind into God-woven skies.
Birthstones of cherubs filling potholes of sunken lives.
On either side of the frothy banks of the mind:
a river of death, a river of life.
Garnet symbolize trust and to be friendly,
human blue eyes are like sapphire representing loyalty,
those full of wisdom, health an love symbolizes rubies.
Beautiful like diamonds,
passionate like an Amethyst,
or those who are aquamarine is full of youth an richness.
Your like a Emerald that symbolizes rebirth,
you twist and you twirl,
but desirable like a rare white pearl.
Your a topaz who symbolizes healing,
looking into people's hearts,
an knowing what they are really feeling.
knowing your true self is to find on your own,
with each birth comes with a birthstone,
birthstones that represent you,
symbolizing a jewel,
is like symbolizing a woman,
they all have natural beauty,
they all have value.
Serene turns to bloody
lullaby whipped to scream.
If you've ever watched your mother die,
you'll know exactly what I mean.
Good times are soon forgotten
friends just drift away
death roosts in the brain forever
I guess we're born that way.
Who is this diadem
that gives, then steals away
puts birthstones in our garden
then swiftly cuts it all away.
Not knowing then when we penned the verse called, 'Chimes'....
That it would seem as a prophecy one day unto this loving heart ?
An anniversary His child their; imagine ? What becomes remains; real
Never because he says this or she states that: Faith, plays righteousness
Trust, proclaims life be light ? Visions time's infant solitary atop these shores
Saying welcome to resistance, the fallout and more ? Transient ten thousand
years..
Black magic birthstones a craft; their evil dead ? Ascension His baby antares
awash love's castles.
June Pearl Moon
Pearl of the June night
Shimmering, lustrous gem song,
Sweet strawberry moon
Platinum light drips romance
Magic moonstone - love's delight.

The birthstones of June are the pearl and the moonstone.
The name often given to the full moon of June is the Strawberry Moon
Holding hands as we walk between headstones
Feeling like a cyclone trapped in a gemstone
Emotions materialize like amber in the concrete
Personified Hellfire and brimstone, turning birthstones to bloodstones
Laughing like a psycho as she leaves me hallow
So I bestow a craked skull to Apollo
I did it just to watch the sun bleed
Luna delivers the deathblow, as I sit on his throne like a pharaoh
Luna's Lunatic, her faithful fanatic
A simple spell, potent potion I become frantic
Kill the light, slay the day, bleed the holy man
A little lunar lust and I become manic
Fighting sanity as the moon begins to rise
A deathly omen of genocidal demise
Howls fill the night, a nocturnal death knell
Last breath, final wish as I gently close your eyes
Do the May days roll into one long bank holiday?
The linearity of time banishing winter blues away
Sunscreen, icecream, flip flops, shades out
As they say until Mays over we should neer cast a clout
Should we listen to proverbs as old as the hills?
Or pretend this is Summer? Go out seeking thrills
June stops by, the only month with 3 birthstones
As our title dictates, how air sign spun
Mercurial, subject to sudden or unpredictable changes?
Unlike the May/ June weather, geminis exchanges
64 degrees F upon average in London, U.K
Forget Me Nots, sure influx
Annual Mysotosis Stricta, 1 year growing cycle
Otherwise known as Scorpion grasses, have muscle
These plants symbolise true love, true blue
Too, you I'm thinking of, make love new.
Not knowing then when we penned the verse called, 'Chimes'....
That it would seem as a prophecy one day unto this loving heart ?
An anniversary and his child their imagine ? What becomes remains, real
Never, because he says this or she states that; faith plays righteousness
Trust proclaims life be light ? Visions time's infant solitary atop these shores
Saying welcome to resistance, the fallout and more ? Transient, ten thousand years..
Black magic birthstones a craft; their evil dead ? Ascension His baby antares awash love's castles.
Gemstones sell
Birthstones tell
Stars delight
Personality rights
But
Hearts are falling again
Desires are ruling again
Words don't make sense anymore
And sometimes they're too much sense, its sore
Red accents....to her.. by accident
Red accents..to him....he thinks it's access
Well
Her take, the path there needs emerald toes fully zealous
His take, jokes and play will hold her by a yoke
Hearts Guarded
Hearts dreaming
Hearts roaming
Of course I drew a stick person
I was a stick person with a mere bush and spots
stick-to-it-ive-ness
ants crawling on sticks for monkeys
eeh-ahh-eeh-eeh-ahh
stick to your guns
this is a stick up
not stuck up
stick your stomach in
stick your butt out
stick to the facts
these are the facts
stick with me
and i will stick with you
stickers of hearts and unicorns
and stick those lighters up
higher stick them up
now, stonewall
and stone to death
stepping stones
stone cold look
stoney point
stoners
stone cold drunk
on pebble stones
heart of stone
wearing stonewashed leather jeans
sticky buns make for
sticky fingers
chakra stones
sweat lodge stones
sticks and stones may break my bones
but these are just my bones
and for the highly sensitive words can
surely hurt more
used to live in the sticks
with all the hicks

Note: Moonstone and Pearl are both June birthstones.
In a Lanterne, first and last words must be related…in
this case “moonstone”.

The Youthful Month of June
Hummingbirds hover amid the fragrant air
O’er honeysuckle flowers and roses fair.
Free doves to fly and rain confetti and rice,
Where in the garden my bride and I abide
In the summery view of the charming moon,
In the youthful month of June.
Moonstone ring and pearl string adorn her finger and neck
Whereupon my chest, her head gently rests
With the softest touch, that says I love you so much.
And I savour her beauty in words of poetry,
Quoting Byron, Browning, Shelley, and Keats.
Aye, she melts my heart with her French accent
“L’amour est une chose merveilleuse entre moi et vous
(Love is a wonderful thing between me and you).
Toujours vrai (forever true)”
In the youthful month of June.

Oh mother
I'm coming home
To reclaim my birthstones
To answer the question as to why ?
I abandoned you in the 1st place
Face to face
Eye to eye
To appologies and make my amends
For all my failings
Until you no longer blame yourself
for my failings
It was never your fault i posessed the
backbone of a snake
I just never had the stomach for a fight
I still suck my thumb and cradle a teddy bear at night
Because i scared of everything and anything
October's Falling Leaves (Tourmaline)
Frost glazed leaves
Of red and yellow sheens
Are strewn about by the breeze.
And it’s charming to trend
Tourmaline’s side-wend
To avoid stepping on them.
Then, she smiles back at me
Uttering in glee,
“October’s falling leaves.”
***
Note:
The opal and pink tourmaline are the most popular birthstones for the month of October, of which the tourmaline is the most popular in the USA. Both gemstones are girls' names. Opal means a “bright future”, and Tourmaline means “colourful jewel”. Since Shakespearean times, the tourmaline is believed to inspire creativity, and is worn as a talisman by writers and artists alike.

Serendipity's Rhapsody of Snow
A twilight rhapsody of snow
When Serendipity's magic flows
Upon each branch a gown of white
Snowflakes sparkle in the afterglow.
I love to walk in her dusky twilight
Through magic spells, heavenly delights,
When boughs glitter with gleaming gemstones
Winter's ornaments of delight.
Evening murmurs as flurries moan
In shades of amber, coral and roan
In the alpenglow I feel such bliss
As snowflakes fall like winter birthstones.
This her wonderland of sparkle and glitz
Each tree glows with her crystal kiss
Enchanted child, the dancing queen,
Fills starlit dreams when I reminisce.
