sapphire sunset
vast, dazzling velvet
infinite, ethereal twilight
womb of creation

In the blue morning, the sky becomes a shining sapphire
In the blue morning, the sky becomes a shining sapphire,
Golden rays paint stories on the earth, like a dreaming dream,
Love is born in the soul, a rare flower at dawn's first light,
Forgiveness gently descends like rain, soothing hearts that have suffered and sighed.
Your serene gaze, like the sea under the moon, reflects deep longings in

Atop the Sapphire Bus
Perched on a sapphire bus, its curves agleam,
In a painted glade where wildflowers teem,
A young man and lady, entwined in a glow,
Bask in love’s fervor, where soft breezes flow.
No tangled forest, but a sketch of delight,
Where a stream’s silver ripples catch dawn’s tender light.
wildflowers and violet blooms burst in the air,
Their petals like whispers, adrift

The Sapphire Star, Lyrics
Above the gleaming constellations, soaring high
Over waves of Seven Seas, where dreams lie
She’s supernal, the Sapphire Star of El
A fire pulsar shell, casting her spell
Twiinkle, in the darkened sky so bright
She’s celestial, a blessing in the night
Empyreal, with a glow that won’t depart
She’s the sapphire gem that stirs the heart
La la la la la la
Ooohhh

Ethereal Dreams and Sapphire Skies
Silver orbs of night dissolve in radiant beams,
Ethereal symphonies surrender to thy gentle dreams.
Clouds, parched with passion, dissolve in sapphire skies,
My life's tumultuous sea subsides in thine enchanting eyes.
Art thou a celestial zephyr or lotus of divine hue?
Thou illuminest the guiding stars of my heart anew.
Is this a chromatic vision or karma's sweet design?
Thou hast

Sapphire Eyes Suffer
The opal anchor clings, clutching, falling,
fetching the lapis lazuli. Mermaids flee,
frightened by the heavy ornament. Fate,
like chain links of Jacob Marley; shaking
of the seabed at the pounding of sin.
Gavel striking like a velociraptor storm.
Sand churns as if Scrooge is turning
in his bedclothes, his premonitory bed.
Sapphire eyes suffer the crashing. Abode
of ponderous tales, predilection of sharp
shadows,

Emerald Dreams and Sapphire Streams
In emerald fields where whispers grow,
Beneath the sky’s sapphire glow,
A healing touch in nature’s flow,
Mends the heart, lets spirits show.
Amidst the ores where magic’s found,
Emotions rise, no longer bound,
Through verdant woods and glistening ground,
The soul in nature’s arms is crowned.
A breeze that sings of hope and grace,
In emerald’s hue, a warm embrace,
While sapphire waves, a

Sapphire Blooms
In fields of endless blue, where heavens meet the earth,
Sapphire blooms unfold, kissed by the morning's birth.
Rose whispers weave a song on gentle breezes' wings,
A tapestry of colours, where the heart finds solace sings.
Each blossom, bold and bright, a brushstroke in the light,
A blush of crimson wakes against the

Sapphire
I gazed into a multi-colored sapphire, bright.
Its sparkles made my brain and heart take flight.
In a single instant, I was transported -
Some kinds of magic are never thwarted.
On an endless, timeless loop, I swiftly sailed,
As nature's enchanting majesty prevailed.

Sapphire equinox
The night comes back in flashes,
As I look for the pieces,
Buried somewhere in these ashes.
So what changed that one time?
We were an acquiescent class
Where talking was a crime.
Maybe we had too much to drink,
A mess and an introvert
We simply forgot to think.
Did I say something senseless?
I don’t remember

A Blue Sapphire
Earth is the planet we call home;
a blue sapphire spinning in space
orbiting a splendorous sun,
an extraordinary jewel.
A blue sapphire spinning in space,
it is breathtaking to behold;
an extraordinary jewel,
Earth is a gem beyond compare.
It is breathtaking to behold,
offset by billions of bright stars;
Earth is a gem beyond compare,
tethered to an orbiting moon.
Offset by billions of bright

Sapphire Souvenirs
As
I watch
the waves crash
and unfold gems
in neon blue dust
across ivory shores
silky reflections scatter
upon moon glazed tides in cadence
and flaming twin stars whirl in circles
sprinkling magic upon Poseidon’s realm
There's a turquoise song for the healing hearts
ruffling as lyrical melodies
along idyllic crests of hope
where memories float in a
bottle of souvenirs
ferrying sapphire
swells of daydreams
that ebb
