Flawless Gems - Lei
A rainbow took my breath away
Whilst on a train one summers day

Her vibrant arc I was in awe
Though folk beside me never saw

With heads bowed low they missed the show
The screens their windows, don’t you know

All Mother Nature’s flawless gems
Score well below the latest trends

As I stood in my garden amongst my flowers,
       a parade of blue butterflies was drifting;
past my lovely brilliant primrose rock garden,
           they kissed a purple cornflower growing.

They stopped...

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 gold.
These are precious ores that most souls are born to find with ease.
But all of us have other precious stones...

They are most precious gems you can possess
They cannot be brought in any jewellers shop
They are more valuable than platinum
They are more rare than flawless D grade diamonds
They shine in your life like 18 carat gold
They are unique
They are special
They are priceless
They are …
True friends

Gems of October
The gems on October trees are dying.
Just as stained glass in evening fades, we know
Fallen leaves are no reason for crying.

Though their blazing colors leave us sighing;
In the frail season they soon lose their glow.
The gems on October trees are dying.

Heaving their last, the leaves...

Shall We Recall Gems Reaped From Our Love's Tree

Should small differences tear us apart
Bringing sorrows, upset our applecart
Will we open our eyes to truly see
How truth and love's growth can still set us free
Surely life should be more than seeking gain
More than just gathering bountiful...

My Lost Friend

Where have you been, where have you gone
it is been a long time, as if it were yesterday

time stays still and it is still today

Be strong, no matter what!
Should the coolness on the wings of 
indifference blow your way.....
Stand on principals of goodness.
Do not to the crowd play!

You know how very well you write!
You are a poet not a puppet.
Many will not read you.
It's acceptable~you know how to
smilingly,rough it.

There...

Bright stars shine in night skies
Like bangles, baubles and beads
Puts a twinkle in every girl's eyes
Like a gift of fine jewelry

A pair of sun stone earrings
Presented to the daughter I love
Some expensive fatherly bling
The price for her, one hug

Red copper reflecting inclusions
Dark middles fade to...

I am standing in my garden amongst the beautiful flowers,
when a kaleidoscope of butterflies comes silently drifting.

Past my lovely primrose rockery, so bright and brilliant,
they find a purple cornflower by the fence just blooming.

All the colorful butterflies stop to kiss painted daisy,
then glide to the...

Would that I had a bracelet of starlight 'round my wrist.
A matching ring upon my hand, my earlobes starlight kissed.

I wish I had a neck chain of moonbeams 'round my neck,
To wear with robes of gossamer and be so fine bedecked;

But if I had such...

Lively words on tiptoes left,
Vanishing in the night.
In vain have I sought to find them,
Those precious prodigal words.

Did they slip away like mice
Through temples worn out by age?
Like jocks who rode the bench too long,
Have they quit for lack of play?

Or have they found me...
