By Phan Tan Hai
Opening the book, reading a few pages,
the words shine like precious jade—
a hidden diamond strength
stepping past the realm of sorrow.
The young girl’s laughter of long ago
echoes along the lines;
a strand of hair tied into the poem,
waiting for some future life of peace.
Following the Buddha pointing at the moon,
I mistake it again for a jade hand;
wading endlessly through the stream of prose,
someone’s laughter sounds like weeping.
A time when hair was very green,
a time of ten thousand words;
now the smile is soundless,
now the words are wordless.
My favorite stones are blue
turquoise, opal, and blue topaz
I am drawn to them first
in every instance
I always wondered why
thinking they symbolize the sky
water or heaven
I know my go-to-rings and necklaces are blue
at a psychic fair one of the mediums tapped my ring
it is my absolute favorite – a diamond shaped blue topaz
set high above a band of light blue opals
This is the exact perfect ring for you, she told me
it will bring you what you seek,
blue connects you to your higher power
I have not quite figured it out
but I continue to lean toward stones that are blue
except lapis lazuli– for some reason that one repulses me.
Skip counting
Roundabout-ing
Happy shouting
Down spouting
Teeth clenching
Arm wrenching
Mean inching
Plain lynching
Day signals bright
Bees pure delight
One two three are right
We turn on the light
Kindergarteners red and blue
Pork belly pigs on notice too
Hot ham hocks for me and you
That’s enough of the Elmer’s glue
Skip counting
Red robin outing
Diamond mounting
Happy child pouting
Rhyming funny kindergarten joy
Fun for each little girl and boy
Skip counting, roundabout-ing
Happy shouting for every toy.
I should have done things differently,
cashed in those simple phrases for sophisticated ones
should have feigned more class, not been so sarcastic...
Maybe that coal crush could have turned into a diamond
but instead, it turned to black dust.
but I would have had to crawl
far away from the self to make us last,
far outside my conch shell
the gulls would have pecked me to death.
After all... you were in a higher class...
your stiletto eyes always reminded me of that...tap-tap
but that was many years ago
you've since passed
you must have crawled too far outside yourself
the karma gulls moved in and pecked you to death.
A sparkle blue
To tease the eye
A diamond facet gleams
Yet, is my diamond blue
As that is how it seems
Now yellow flirts
The facet turns
A different hue is cast
So, is my bauble yellow
Perhaps, yet not to fast
A tint of pink
Escapes the stone
Reflection perseveres
Now, is my treasure pink
My thinking interferes
A gem of many sides
Diversifies its shine
Am I not the sum of parts
Not just one to define
Island Blues
My teal eyes rise to southern skies
in soft shades of azure,
A reflection of our aqua serene seas
that sweep the shore.
Summer shallows for novice surfers
in nautical navy shorts swim
From sunrise to sunset when indigo
heavens enchant our eyes with
Dancing diamond stars that mesmerize.
Luna, wrapped in her cobalt robes amid
shrouded clouds, hides.
Midnight lends to darkest sapphire shades in
romantic bejeweled atmosphere
Before gentian skies fade in the majesty
of dawn’s golden light.

Loose diamonds scattered
Stars flung across velvet sky
Midnight blue sequined
Sad is this Day
Bound to no one
Melted White Gold
Dragon & Blue Rose
Seven Diamond Doves
Have Flown their separate ways
First Day of Spring
Covered
In
White Snow
Growing tired of running circles around your eyes.
Time to slow the tempo of the jester's soul tangle.
Breathe-breathe.... breathe
My deep blue raggedy sheep.
Easy-easy-easy
You don't need those happy pills
just these bucking, diamond flanks.
Chill-chill chill.
Rest your Velcro heart in my sticky mind.
Watch stars climb from frozen naps...
Time to dream...dream ...dream.
Turn
each
other
on.
My deep blue raggedy sheep...
The cool blue ice moves down the inlet
Clear and pristine like blue diamond glass
Seals playfully jump and dive
Making ripples of rings on the silent surface
Radiating them out until they disappear
Crisp and cold in this land of ice
Clear and serene on a calm day
Land that is frozen in time
Disturbed only by the wind and crashing waves
Or the animals that live in this arctic domain
Land of the midnight sun
With no morning or no dawn
Undisturbed by man
Only nature showing it's hand
