This is heaven's stone so blue as the day sky.
Earth in space takes its rest on a sapphire.
And the sapphire casts out its blue rays right.
The rich British Crown Jewels where they lie
do now show bluish gems of the Empire.
All the sapphires there do give us fine sight.
Cool blue stone's Jupiter's mark that's so high.
Through strong scope seen as a spot of bright fire.
And in space circles the sun with great light.
Near stands priest chosen of God who prays nigh
in a breastplate of gems and some play lyre.
For all time stone will bless as it shines bright.

Clutching at her notepad like stones of precious sapphires
She shuts her eyes in hopes of extinguishing raging fires
In her somnolence, thoughts through her mind float like fireflies
Whilst her pen gleans her teeming brain all else dies
Drowning in a nightmare a sleeping beauty with no hope to wake
He found her consumed in an old love’s Stonehenge of heartbreak
His aura ignited life’s fire within her exploding like dynamite
His love injected fortitude in her like the yellow sun, never kryptonite
She awakened from sleep in a Shakespeare midsummer’s night dream
Found herself on a cliff’s edge of metamorphosed stone regimes
Stone regimes’ holding like rich garners sapphire grains of hope and peace
With a watchful eye each stone transformed into a sapphire piece
She traded her Stonehenge of heartbreak for these sapphire glows
Thus hope and peace will forever abide in her like blood in a vein flows

Night silenced moon ascends as lonely dim art
while burnished tears bow from a silent gray tomb.
Songs of dreams belong among the red skylarks
as she clutches the lost arch of sorrow’s boon.
Time wades along wild rivers of salt-green dust,
within auburn hair lies are fragrance of musk,
the staid broken glass with dark sonnets of time.
She’s gone now alone with sapphires of rhyme.

Soaring sapphires
Filling the sky with glow…
Shinning happiness

Human.
Strangers in beautiful buildings
Bouncing away from each other
Conforming to individualism
Nostalgia.
Pays handsomely for memories
Prays haphazardly for miracles
Drowning in the sands of time
Strife.
Hotdog vendors
Wasting oxygen and living space
Dreaming of superstardom
Debt.
Trapped in a fishbowl in California
Immersed in the abstract
Drunk on force-fed cruelty
Gravity.
Giant magnets everywhere
Littering galaxies
Fettering free minds
Death.
Army dreamers making love
Two-halves human
Tap dancing on Father Time
Colorblind.
Studded with emeralds and sapphires
Caressing each other like a rainforest
Brushing against the clear blue sky

Tonight, of all nights, I catch the falling sky
while the world spins off it's axis out the corner of my eye
My room is barely lit by a single firefly
as I blow the trees off mountains with a singulary sigh.
The resin of the moon is the shadow of my face
The stars collide and sprinkle dust to make their big escape
They land among the treetops as an ember burnt through space
curling ribbons in the leaves at a wilted sparkler's pace.
Climb my psyche if you will
spin the world backwards better still
tear me off a sapphire pill
to fix this woe that's made me ill.
Tonight, of all nights, I say good bye
as the weight off my back gently slides
I still have that light from my firefly
so if you don't mind now I'll close my eyes...
