springtide’s dulcet birthstone watch,
omen of fragrant  bloom

Ruby’s red
Sapphire’s blue
Emerald’s green
October’s birthstone flashes all

The opals fire; 
it burns so bright; 
a gem to light our way.  
Baked in Earth’s oven, 
this spectre bright; 
will never burn your skin; 
it’s simply light-play.

Bright
leafs swirl 
rapt torrents
o'er harvest moon 
gemstone portent of
motley hued topaz glaze
nacreous in sullen haze
as grey dawn wail from tawny tree
house crib heralds wildlife orchard surge...

Amethyst is a purple colour
Of my birthstone
A beautiful purple colour
The month of February
Wearing the colour purple

Is the colour of strengh
To become strong 
When I'm feeling weak
My ring is purple 
I wear it every day...

Can time be discarded
  by reading your work

Your wisdom a birthstone,
  eternity’s mark

With experience salient,
  thoughts never to age

A voice for all seasons
  —the words of a sage

A ruby that’s red with fire
Brought about sweet love’s desire
There’s no other that’s higher
Sweet ruby red fire

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...

Opal is supposed to be my birthstone
Crazy but I don’t own one
The scales,  my zodiac sign
Oh Yes! I am supposed to be well
Balanced and on the surface I 
Exhibit a calm manner but 
Really?  on the cusp of Scorpio?

Getting married, simple gold band.
Got mad one night, threw in sand.

Next day threw rock from the spot.
Found it there, glittering in the sun.
Larry did same, had to buy another.

Now it has six diamonds, engraved
With names and date. Along with a
Gold birthstone ring, set with four
Diamonds on each side. It suits me....

Oh! Emeralds, simply divine,
    Each precious stone, beyond compare.
    Translucent gems, wish you were mine,
    As jewels for to grace one's hair,
    Or pendant on a chain so fine.
    Deep lustrous greens, of hues so rare.
    A verdant birthstone crystalline,
    Springs talisman, loves solitaire. 
    A brooch wherein two hearts entwine,
    From natures treasure chest, we share...

October hushes
a cold snap, baldachin for 
red, brown and gold leaf. 
Indian summer waver, Indian rope trick 
sent to douse earthen world shackle.
Bogus heat pump transience.
Polar air mass scatters migrant bird 
on vibrant amber.
Ocean gust saline coated whisper
 to autumn eardrum host.
Nightscape shadows rudely cut across 
the afternoon event space.

Why is thy doth of perfectionism?
Melancholic's bore her not
Emeralds, sapphires, diamonds in a row
In April prime, lives her through
Her amulet sparkled like Indian's birthstone
To the glory of her, her alone
She's demure sometimes arduous
You cannnot fetter her like chain of Troy's barbaric men
By Helen's cry and things subside
One, two, three, and deep she carrying the stone
And twa's doomed
She asked, How do I live and die?
For my God, I live in thine....

Oh mother

I'm coming home

To reclaim my birthstones

To answer the question as to why ?

I abandoned you in the 1st place

Face to face

Eye to eye

To appologies and make my amends 

For all my failings

Until you no longer blame yourself
for my failings

It was never your fault i posessed the
backbone of a snake

I just never had the stomach for a fight

I still suck my thumb and cradle a teddy bear at night

Because i scared of everything and anything...

Marks of December

Thirty-one days old, twelfth month of the year,
Season named winter, in the Northern Hemisphere!
Holiday celebrations on various days throughout,
With advocates for awareness also moving about!
Turquoise birthstone, Sagittarius and Capricorn signs,
Narcissus and Holly flowers, fragrant beauties by design!
Weather patterns vary, from rain, sun, wind and snow,
Preparing us for the days ahead, and natures’ picture show!
