Carcanet Poems


Premium MemberMoonstone Melodies

Rainbow moonstone celestial
adularescence, transforming milky way white, 
pale azure luster to an electric sapphire 
Luminescence consistent beauty 
Never ending, blending its cadence 
with the colors of the rainbow
Sprinkling  the  Universe ~
Stripping its steely metallic moon
Sacred stones spilled upon earth 
Timeless and mysterious moonstone
Adorning her ring finger flaunting, adoring
An ascendant jewel coiled demurely 
around the nape of her neck,
formerly worn by the moon goddess’s
perfuming melodies and ballads 
Now ethereal beauty's, both are fetching
An antique amulet she keeps in her grip
A clustering carcanet seen by a few
A rivière resting atop her breasts
A priceless periapt symphony she gives into~
its melody, surrendering to palliating powers
Queen of her own throne rich in clairvoyance
Graceful, feminine and demure

Scarlet Scars

Engraved within my chest's a ruby beating,
An image of my precious wondrous rare;
I mined it from a sanguine vein retreating,
A carcanet arcane of grading fair.
Its lustrous tone bleeds lusty pigeon's blood;
Inclusions nil, my closet gem's most clear;
My stone's an unrefined and uncut stud,
A carbuncle inflamed of rating dear.
This payment fine accounts a carmine fool:
I rent my heart to lease a costly rock,
A tarnished shape for varnished casket's jewel,
A carnifex encased of trading stock.
          I've paid my chest to get a carnal treat;
          I've graved my casket, earned a carcass beat.
