Best Carats Poems
Let me dance your tune, soak our wine
Afloat on irises divine,
From glint of midnight I believe
In charms you bring, and charms you leave,
Making me gentle everyday
Through fire and rain, time lifts the way,
While carats of eyes glow about
A diamond’s remnants, no doubt.
For never have I felt this flight
When dawn wakes my gaze with delight,
Then, clutch my hands on mystic trips
Down rivers shifting moon’s eclipse;
That open light with breaths aglow
And glitter tide’s sails made to row;
Deeper the years; warmer your face
To relish clasps of soft embrace.

( Make Me Fall In Love With Your Poem)
If you are cathedral of consecration
I'm the voluminous chime summoning souls
If you are the moonglade mountain peak
I'm the fedora of snow atop you
If you are the bantam flame of hope
I'm the mammoth lantern you sit in
If you are the magnificent crown of laurel
I'm the koh-i-noor glowing your majesty
If you are the whorly petals of the gypsy-sue
I'm the daggerlike thorns of flaw
If you are the bard of the Zambezi
I'm the first sonnet of your anthology
If you are the mythical firebird
I'm the scarlet embers of reincarnation
If you are the forsaken pirate ship
I'm the glubs of your drowning
If you are the ancient persian pearl
I'm the millions carats speaking your worth
If you are the sacred vial of eternity
I'm the gluck to the kingdom come
If you are cathedral of consecration
I'm the open arms of the door of mercy

Clear cut diamond
530 carats gem
Mined in South Africa
Queen Elizabeth I wonder
How did you feel
Knowing The Great Star Of Africa was never yours
Did you think you would just bond
With it during your term
Or we would just forget that it came from Africa
You made a blunder
Which you never had to deal
With the day you accepted it its force
Elevated you even higher wherever you went
As it sparkled on your sceptre and on your head
It made you stand out in any room you find yourself or in any crowd
You spent
Your entire life mesmerized by it but now that you’re dead
And Charles is about to be crowned
King will he have the guts to bring it
Back home where it belongs
Will he finally see it fit
I wait for that day where the wrongs
You made are acknowledged and are made right
The road ahead isn’t easy but it looks bright
Peter loved his wife Carmen Lúcia
Their love 's color was tranquil fuchsia
Their love took shape in Mogok
In depth of the Mother rock
Big red ruby-poem of Gaia
HISTORY
The Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. has received one of the world's largest and finest ruby gemstones. The 23.1 carats (4.62 g) Burmese ruby, set in a platinum ring with diamonds, was donated by businessman and philanthropist Peter Buck in memory of his late wife Carmen Lúcia. This gemstone displays a richly saturated red color combined with an exceptional transparency. The finely proportioned cut provides vivid red reflections. The stone was mined from the Mogok region of Burma (now Myanmar) in the 1930s.

Theme: Love, Ruby, Precious stone
Deep within the earth's crust
slowly over the centuries
it had gradually made it's way
finally it reached the light of day
Dull and round as big as a golf ball
it lay on the ground enduring rain
followed by wind and sunshine
slowly the outer skin came away
At last it was free yet still dull
a man picked it up excitement in his heart
he took it to a jeweller's for polishing
it was cut and shaped letting light in
Weighing 12 carats it was well acclaimed
as into gold it was set, an engagement ring
thus this stone born of fire and pressure
graced beauty's hand with its own beauty
These are the ashes of what's left of our fire...
What to expect when electricity meets water;
Though our love has sundered, bittersweet polaroids and toffee greeting cards endure.
... When a house is lost to flames, one surviving photo is worth a thousand carats
And so I go with these memories that come ripe again to soul and bone,
A bounteous pension for the things we lost in the fire...
A bed of roses and a chest of knives.
When a bough rustles a ballad but no one to sing to
She soon sheds like tears;
There is nothing anywhere but nakedness and wretch and sure days of barrenness...
No elastic smile, only guttering cheeks.

the emerald of our love seemed so pure
you were the Cullinan of my heart
yet, even graphite has no cure
for curing was no start
our love splintering
on your part
crumbling
broken!
it’s gone
it was sold
you were the one
so fragile, yet so cold
my diamond turned to graphite
there was no place in your mould
I found a black diamond… reflected no light
-the Cullinan Diamond was the world's biggest diamond discovered at the time 3100 carats-
a world changing impact a horrific explosion leaving a crater sixty two miles wide loss of life can not be estimated an asteroid slams into Russia's countryside - - But It may be the death of a diamond cartel for this event happened long ago and far away leaving diamonds all over this giant diamond clustered bowl - - Trillions of carats fell more best friends than a woman could ever wear diamond remnants scattered from the sky is why cartels beware - John Beam
The sea drowned the sun
and light-year lights
coruscate the darkness
with tiny countless carats
of weighted worlds.
Unreachable masses
esteemed by poets
and starry-eyed lovers
whose naivete nurtures
inspiration and romance.
And like the rarest of gems
Appears a great masterpiece
of literature or another
notable love affair.
Wedding Ring
Why did you take my wedding ring? Did taking it give you a zing? Did hurting me give you a
double ring in your b b thing? Did the carats make your heart sing?
Did you think your new lady would like my ring? Wouldn’t it sting her to know whose thing
that was first darling?
That hurt more than anything. Why did you take my ring?
While a sovereign prince
I visited a sovereign state
Whose name shall remain
For the time being a secret
I hoped to find a sovereign cure
For a malady that had afflicted
My paramount sovereign ruler
And hampered his dutiful reign
Need I remind you that I, myself,
Was a royal blooded offspring
Of a sovereign lord? Or that I
Was on a royal mission abroad?
Nonetheless, and that notwithstanding
I traveled abroad on this secret mission
To find this most rare sovereign remedy
Of an even rarer sovereign contempt
The doctor (or to be frank witchdoctor)
Whose sovereign virtue was sovereignty
Had been accorded a rare sovereign right
To explore these rare sovereign remedies
His sovereign- whom he called president-
Was not as preeminent as my sovereign
As you will in due course come to learn
He was of a much lesser breed, I guess
But his people- also of a lesser breed,
Had given him what he called a mandate
Not sovereign power like my monarch
But he was very proud of that mandate
If he had been a Czar, or Emperor or King
I might have reciprocated with a noble bow,
But that is reserved for an indisputable chief
Or heads of powers like the United States
This one had the supreme remedy that I needed
That my sovereign had ordered me to procure
So I bowed quickly, a shorter version, anyway
And then rose again to my full padded height
Upon which I was handed several magic portions
Several thousand carats of gold, diamond, rubies
Several thousand acres of land for my experiments
And several virgins to cure my sovereign’s ailments!
I spent my day shopping for rubies
I was on tenterhooks to make a choice
Rubies displayed on shelves glittered
And seeing the price tags I lost my voice!
Rubies' purity measured in carats
Their colors linked to zodiac sign
It was not easy job to choose one
With so many variations, I pined.
Seeing me grim, girl on counter smiled
"May I help you", she calmed me down
Given my budget, zodiac sign of my love
She helped me zero on to a Ruby crown.
Thanking her profusely, I left the gem store
A full day had been spent to buy this Ruby
Gleefully, my love accepted my day's labor
Hugged me like a scooby dooby do booby.
I let go of shopping pains, felt great
A candle light dinner in down town
As a return gift, I will cherish it forever
I am now more confident shopping a crown.

"Black Diamond Night"
an eerie essence embraces a haunting mist
on a black diamond night as illusions unfold
deep ebony sky infiltrates lovers kiss
excitement permeates viewing an orb of moongold
a sequined box reveals
an onyx stone conceals
carats tempting eyes
engagement ring surprise.
the mystic dazzle beckons shards of dusk twilight
the tender moment magnifies the fever of lovers glow
immersed in ecstasy at chiming of midnight
the diamond dust ensconces dreams of radiant fond flow
blackness transcends to white
dark night is sheer delight
proposal beneath sequined passionry
black diamond dances on in finger fashionry.

Please pass me a double with 100-proof zing
No, I’ve no money, but I’ll pay with this ring
Yes, it’s a diamond yet it lost its luster
I found him with her; my mind did fluster
So I tossed the harlot out of our house
And called him a thoughtless cheating louse
I’ll need more booze if you want to hear more
There are some trespasses you can’t ignore
Shot him in the kneecap, crippled that lout
So now there’ll be no more running about
Hey, that ring’s two carats, worth a refill
I’ll take another shot of this swill
I tossed him the cell to call 9-1-1
My goose is cooked; the law will soon come
Fill one more to go ‘fore I hit the road
And thanks for allowing me to reload

To hard-knock have-nots, tutorials taught her
Ignore poor crippled car sleepers in their midst
Image is nine tenths of destiny, maintain it

Beacon lights monarch morrow, slim limbs svelte
Jokers precluded erect huts on soft sand
