Gemstones Poems | Examples

Brown Eyes

Reminiscent of a doe
with a hue as rich as earth,
your gaze takes me home
to a cedar-filled hearth.

Welcoming like hot chocolate
and as vibrant as autumn's leaves,
your stare carries the life
that Mother Nature herself weaves.

Neutral, yet expressive—
as versatile as leather, but still so alive—
your eyes are the gemstones
favored by the sun and I alike.

Wood as gold

Wood polished so bright to mimic gold,
Its yellow coat glitters in the sun,
May even fetch a high price when sold,
And still be cherished in the long run.

Like a flawless gold that flaunts great wealth,
Its glamour, a pride to regal thrones,
Where most kings recline in pride and health,
Yet it's mere wood disguised as gemstones.

Great craftsmanship like that of goldsmiths,
Who shape raw gold to forge pure beauty,
So carpenters carve wood into myths,
Emblazoned pride into their duty.

my love for diamonds

black diamonds did not form on our planet
They are from outer space
Reputed to deflect negativity from the wearer

diamonds have a shine that rivals the stars
they look fantastic in jewelry – rings and necklaces
I remember receiving my first one in nineteen sixty-four

I have lost them, found them, and revitalized them
They always delight me
each with her own personality
as diverse as a snowflake
no two alike

Worship

The sodium street lights
Your few striped freckles
The makeshift tattoo on my palm
A couple? Never. It's always been a triple or even a single at best,
A circle of medics healing medics.
This distortion is fine
It's a revolution of entrancing revolts.

Relics ignite for every star in the ground,
Scattered upon my brain.
To my pressed, dear, deadest flowers...
You keep leaving me out!
Crystalise for me, so I can die again for you.

My precious opalite,
Your purity is a miracle.
My beloved flaked obsidian,
Your impurity is a fiasco.
Both are much to be worshipped.
But now what am I to you>
The myriad, or the clone?

You keep me enshrined.
You rekindle yourself.
You say the circle is perfect, but it ends 4 corners behind.
I guess I'm only history.

Set me alight

If you dare.

Proposal

Carnelian, please, I need my strength;
Tell goldstone to be here in lengths
And dragon stone will guide me through,
With rose quartz here, for loving you.
My pyrite guides me to the left.
Labradorite leaves my hand, bereft.
And though my quartz is tattered and shattered,
Tell amethyst that it never mattered.
Just let me cry and let me sing--
Just let my heart explode again!
Snowflake obsidian strips me naked.
Strengthening contrasts are so sacred.
I'll put this rose quartz to my disposal,
Gift opalite ring, accept my proposal
And be with me forevermore.
Please, please be mine, forevermore

Beautiful, Rare, Valuable Gemstones

Black opal is the rarest and most valuable opal for distinctive vibrant
“play-of-color”, as the dark body tone of the stone enhances the
beautiful and brilliant colors of blues, greens, yellows, oranges and
fiery reds. It is an exceptional opal that can rival or surpass diamonds.

Blue paraiba tourmaline is rare and valued for unique, electric color, 
renowned for vivid, vibrant neon blue green to turquoise hues.
It is the most rarest of tourmalines for incandescent glow that
appears to light up the stone and is sought by gem collectors.

my favorite gemstones are blue

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.

were the gemstones real?

The necklace practically threw itself into my path
I kept coming back to take another look at it
It was absolutely gorgeous! Were the gemstones real?
I put a bid on it, but lost. But never forgot it.
It was a beauty!

verdent gemstones

Malachite is the loveliest color
As is emerald, May’s birthstone
Chrysoprase makes my heart feel happy
There are so many verdant gems
They all reflect money, revitalization and new beginnings
When people wear them, I feel the vibrations in the room rise

Pool of Memories

I sink down in grief
   drowning in a pool of memories
    the bottom is covered in gems
 each gem a precious moment in time
               I pick one up
    joy makes me rise to the surface
               like a bubble
                   I pop
         when I reach the top
       because you're not there
               I sink again 
                in despair
      the gems are so attractive 
          so I pick up another
             rise to the top
                    pop
             and sink again
               and again
               and again
     so many wonderful memories
            a lifetimes worth
        I will always miss you
  but the gems keep me going back
  to dive into the pool of memories

Milton

.                        "ice crystals on grass
                  glistening like pure gemstones
                     dawn winking at morning"...
An excerpt from "Ice Crystals on grass" by L. Milton Hankins
A poem composed of three haikus. I chose this haiku to show that Milton could write such beauty when he chose. Milton was so kind to me; I will miss him.                    

                            generous poet
         shared feelings straight from the heart
                       softly closed the door

My Love For Opals

Their delicate nature entices me to try harder
to stare into their translucence and see their souls
They speak to me from a variety of places
They are the opals, and they epitomize imagination
I wear them cheerfully, understanding their need
To show off their full power, and to enhance mine.
They make me bold, wittier, more effervescent.
They are the opals, and they surround a band I wear daily
enhancing a beautiful pear-shaped blue aquamarine 
I have loved them forever, my jewelry box is a reflection of this

A Gemologist No Doubt

Diamonds on her pinky finger,
Rubies on her index toes,
Topazite and fire opals
Dangling from her dainty nose.

Turquoise on her wrists,
Sapphires making her shout.
Opals on her swan-like neck.
A gemologist no doubt!

Pearls

Self-sacrifice is the oyster’s lot; 
this ocean martyr spends its life, 
dedicated to its art.

Its sculptures of abalone and pearl; 
grace softly, human skin, 
with a luster bright.
