Best Gem Poems

I gather up each word, each thrown away,
putting my poetry back together;
words "thrown" to wither and decay,
     this garbage- I love forever.
       My poems called worthless,
       my poems so...

the line to his heart
intricate and delicate
a jewel I found......

As precious stones are hidden and entwined
   in minerals of ordinary worth,
they must be found, professionally mined
   from common, rocky layers of the earth.

Extracted, polished, cut- they'll stand apart
   as valued gems.  Neglected, they will share
in earth's destructive...

Placed upon one's head a crowing glory
sparkling jewel destiny 
a soul's song to the heart...

Blank, silent sight, fretted the gods,
Nowhere in the horizon, a living thing abides;
Handfuls of soil, they carry in the air,
Poured as seeds ‘till a haven molds there.

Land of the Morning, Pearl of the Orient,
So called the Philippines, the name I am sent;
Seated in the east...

Scaling the skies and beauty of her wonder world
A fairy saw a sparkling thing down in a valley
Intrigued she flew up to it
Mesmerized she was, when she saw it
A big ,sparkling ,blue gem with  lustrous shine
Thrilled by its luster ,she touched it
And woof!!!
Her magic...

Mama sang while cleaning the house
Friends noticed her melodic voice
Outside, she hid behind her spouse
When he played the sax, she’d rejoice

The church choir was seeking talent
Her soft voice touched a man nearby
So to the choir master he went,
“It’s Wanda you need, but she’s shy”

Soon, at...

Dazzling like a sparkling green diamond
Eyes lit up when I opened the velvet box!
My birthstone for Aquarius is garnet 
Almandine is most common form with a rich red colour
Not for me -I wanted something more unusual
The jeweler had to order it in especially for me
Of...

Many moons ago 
your starlit beautiful 
the day of birth dreams began

Circling true warm dust 
was cast into the wake 
of wishes floating sparks hot

Burning arrow head 
fires destinies spark 
igniting winks hope is born 

You came in a dark 
nightlight crystal clear cut 
dressed...

A wretched bond which all my life had borne
My sin I love and own, alas owns me
Deceitful heart that love these chains and thorns
Unsacred ties that binds, how may I flee?

Then suddenly at dawn my dungeon breaks
Fresh wounds I see on pierced hands stretched down
From...

A dinosaur, 
said he saw, 
the seashore, 
but he wasn't sure 
what the sea was for.
A butterfly, 
said he saw the sky, 
but he didn't know why, 
the sky was so high.
A humble turtle,
fumbled over a hurdle,
but being a turtle,
it didn't hurt at all.
A fat...

I see the shadows soft inside starlight 
beauty illuminates one queen true
deep within the bones it dwells ashes 
a drunken spirit's kiss lives hot fire

Burns ultra violet turns blue heaven's 
colours of amazing grace's promise
white dove you fly deeply inside pure
rose you bleed into heartbeats...

She sat near a pool of brownish waters.
Perplexed by her own reflection.
The wind tender on her hair,
Tossing it eastward.
Drying her imbrued face,
From days of sobbing,
Leaving dull lines that stretched
From her pale eyes,down her haggard lion.
She never wore a smile
As brilliant as the sun.
They only burn,her.
Reawaking...

My black is majestic my black is smooth
Even when I was banished from public pool
Even if I was portrayed black face fool
I was a raven flying above you.

I am much more than kinky hair
Thick thighs brown eyes and ebony stare
I am the truth if you...

She is Pacific ocean 
Tranquil from outside
tumultuous from with in
 
         Shallow it seems from the  surface
         But deep, very deep it decends

And what things it carry inside
Lively...
