Mother 
Earth’s love birthed

Pyrite.

In her black
tresses,
The lapis lazuli
lass
Lent her aroma
To her earthy
beloved.
Then she cried in
ecstasy....

She rests her feet on crescent moon,
the shadow of a pearl, in June,
distant sky in lapis hewn,
her ivory starlight wishes strewn....

Paint me a poem of Emerald green;
with lapis blues and golden hues.  
A poem that is so well preened,
that I’ll want to salute the sky.

cumulus there dazzlingly bright
      floats above  in motionless flight
              teases, slow-dances furtively
                          deep skies of lapis lazuli!...

I passed through the azurite; a soul on its molecular tour.
I swam lapis lakes and trekked the malachite mountains alone.
Energized by the pyrite sun’s rays, I was renewed.

Chinese Freestyle Poem

To be a crane upon a mountainside
Would be a fine thing.
To be lapis-lazuli
Would also be good.

Somehow the wind blowing in Wintertime
Makes one long for lonely places....

Color me azurite; Malachite isles upon Lapis blue seas.

I sail the waves, moved by Gaia’s tranquil, reverberating song.

On the horizon, dolphin arcs play; brother sun laughs.

Meet me when
Sky paints pink
On mauve eve

Embossing love
With blue sapphires
Lured by kiss of
Romantic night

And twilight amber
In themes enamored
Bedazzles your dream
As horizon gleams
Lapis lazuli

Thousands of years float by, 
seen by ever-seeing mind's eye:

     verdant earth, 
     infinite sea,
     vast skies of 
     lapis lazuli, 

     tales of leaving, 
     of homecoming,
     songs of birth, 
     poems of rebirth!...

Darkest, deepest night

Mirror of limbs against sky

Lapis are the trees.

Heavy internal silence

Sad reflection, crying moon.

an image floating in ruby red 
Vulcanic skies reflecting 
this mesmerizing elixer 

the aroma of your spirit 
Crescent echo 
hangs infinite 

Blue 
We are lapis lazuli 
branches of the same tree 

Wind grows her silken hair 
around us...

Lapis lazuli blue waters

copper stones sunset kissed

night sky

Wild and playful river otters

twirling round in a tryst

Lapis Lazuli, Tutankhamen’s blue, loves gold; 
ocean depths dream of such a deep hue and 
is jealous of night, lapis skies.

Lapis remembers cosmic light and 
tells its tales; 
view Lapis skies and 
plot your course in their stars.

Lapis Lazuli
a cortical jolt,
lips love you truly,
like lightning,
a bolt 
out of the blue 
of the eyes
of your dreams,
bursting your bubble
and tearing the seams
sewn by the hand 
of a mother with care,
in hopes that 
Saint Nicolas,
soon would be there....

indigo evening
the lapis lazuli sea
lovely blue roses

sunshine bluebonnets
teal skies of happier days
megastar asters

ribbiting frogs, pond
nights on the town midnight blue
bittersweet memoirs

periwinkle moon
turquoise days and sapphire nights
the tears on my face...

mountain breeze wafting
masses of colorful blooms
incessant motion

on the lapis sea
the wind's at last in my sails
sunshine caresses

wind's in the orchard
animating still life fruit
lazy summer day

along with birdsong
its whistles breaks the silence
green forest for miles...

Dusk seeps lapis
The horizon looms in blood and coral
Crows emerge from peacock plumes
shrieking caws of darkness
wings flap their incessant onyx
Talon wounds of starlight 
multiply and meld
into the coming day
the cover of night perforated
into salmon blooms and cornflowers

gypsy girl flowing in a flash of red skirt
 her glazed bodice in breeze of bluebells
 In fountain of rejoice, wild rapacious flirt
 crystal lapis lazuli , my fortune she tells 
 "you'll soon fall in love and gonna get hurt"
 In a sherbet dream, my cheerful heart yells.

Intense blue light energy
Radiates from the 
manifestation stone
bringing balance 
and a voice to speak
your personal truth.  
It provides wisdom and 
connects us to the mystical 
and spiritual realms. 
The key to total
spiritual attainment.
Breathe...
Let go...
Lapis Lazuli Dream

What a relief Niagara Falls strawberry;
Misty rams saxophone solo;
Such a relief out of the blue lapis lazuli;
In jess what is this?
What a relief aquariums Blue Ribbon red birds;
Rocky Mountains sprig of mint;
Aroma kisses the mountain peaks;

Meet me there~ when halo of the eventide
Scripts clandestine hints of twilight dreams
Invoking passions pink of romantic musings
Upon horizon’s smile glistening lapis lazuli
Where you are lost gazing sunset tangerine
As the sun folds in blue sea~ meet me there
