Glowing like a hot fire
Any shade of red just won't do;
Renegade shadows 
Nearly misread as blood; 
Energizing the cold 
The flame of January....

His fingers are so long and delicate, almost effeminate.
His eyes are so brown, almost a bronze garnet when sunlit.
His face is so perfect, I want to forever kiss it....

Gadabout butterflies
glitter like red sunset.
Gem sparkles in the west.
Gracious nature provides
glamour hues in winter.
Glad robin sings, lustrous.
Goodbye, last robustness....

Glimmers of rose petals
Glisten on the skyline,
Gold, glittered with deep red~
Gloaming gems, mirroring
Gossamer silk of stars,
Gliding across a love-
Glazed garden of yearning....

Gorgeous antique bracelet
Golden twist on my wrist
Gems of deep red garnets
Glistening, glittering
Garnished with seeded pearls
Glowing soft milky white
Great grandmother’s bequest...

The beauteous lights do sparkle so
reflecting joy for my spirit to feel.
I wrap each gift and loop each bow.
My home is decked in garnet and teal
as Christmas dazzle I welcome with zeal!...

LEFT ON THE RIGHT HORIZON

Garnet the threshold
Barring the prison vision
Hurled the moon
Satellites launching in my dreams 
What's left on the right horizon

There was a man from Tennessee, 
who claimed had more money than me-
        I thought he had lied,
        opened his mouth wide,
spent more on dental bills than he!

After buttercups came daisies,
exquisite floating garnet hibiscus, 
iris, jasmine, kooky little marigolds,
nasturshums, orchids, petunias, roses, 
sunflowers,trailing varicolored wisteria,
xerophites, and yellow zinnias....

plump red strawberries
the kind we knew last red dusk
when time inched by brusque

garnet stars flash on
scarlet leaves and cardinals
mars phenomenal

crimson dragonflies
when fruitful days are going
true colors showing...

It instantly changed
the hue of the sky;
Beat red afternoon,
I was spellbound by
garnet colored Sun;

A maroon mist 
hung in the air
creating smoke 
swirling so dense

bathing you 
in ruddy 
fantasy;

A split
second

show....

I dream of Gamecock victories
On courts and fields and track
I follow the recruiting trail
In hopes of all-time back;
I sit in stands, both cold and warm
To watch Garnet and Black
And even when we fail to win
It’s never for spirit they lack....

Intentionally deceived by those that augmented dubiously.
An Innocence killed by lies that seemed real.
Now, what a heart should feel is controlled by strength of will.
Entombed down deep inside a garnet red does hide.
Tossed away, you lost, I'm afraid....

The burnt brown grass of August ending
Longs for the opulence of autumn
To adorn the stripped and thirsty trees 
With garnet jewels and gowns of silken rain

Press a stain on my garnet lips,
polish rough to a flawless cut;
Cover my soft sigh in rose hips,
press a stain on my garnet lips;
Our bodies caress and eclipse,
fireworks and comets the gamut;
Press a stain on my garnet lips, 
polish rough to a flawless cut....

Lady promise
You're more than everything
I come before you today
To tell you more I say
I call you out by name
I come before you today
I missed the challenges
And garnet promises
I announce to the world dismayed
You are more than a promise to me

Paper-thin, metallic blue deepening further, slicing down, across from bone to bone. 
Garnet rivers, pooling into oceans, staining... Screams, screams fade “CALL AN 
AMBU..l..a....” (gone). A single response, a tear, gliding down... swift, before fading to 
black....

Crimson garnet; stone of blood; 
it purifies, some say.  
Perhaps it loves us way too much; 
never taking time to play.

Stone of crimson life, it is; 
the water’s wondrous friend.
It truly does know its biz; 
also the Aquarians friend.

On autumn trees the garnet leaves amass
Predestined flocks of birds to there alight
Quiescent in stiff gusts of October
Rosaceous in the sun's reclusive rays

Silent butterflies pirouette to earth

The red kings,
And the black kings,
And the kings of garnet and jasper,
Lie silently behind plexiglass
While the population
Is petrified.
Yet the red kings,
And the black kings,
And the kings of garnet-jasper,
Are only strange marionette kings
That the population themselves
Have created....

A big crude demoness
