I like to bed myself amid
this evening’s milky light
now that the aged day
is hanging still 
between the trees
exhaling in ascending opals
all the haze of hours gone...

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.

Sparkle 
to opals do they lend 
shine 
to emeralds they offend 

exude 
the missive they can send 
glow 
despair they often mend 

burnish 
surpass and do not bend 
heal 
put right before the end...

Diamonds on her pinky finger,
Rubies on her index toes,
Topazite and fire opals
Dangling from her dainty nose.

Turquoise on her wrists,
Sapphires making her shout.
Opals on her swan-like neck.
A gemologist no doubt!...

topaz solitaire
set with eight opals
favorite ring ever

diamond is long gone
or not, no interest
Blue jewelry my favorite

It should never be the ring.
It should be the guy
Sometimes you

Do
Not
Even 
Need
Jewelry.......

Hotpants showing off tanned legs
as long as a June school day

Blonde pigtails framing wide eyes,
bluer than Peruvian opals

Cherry lips freeing sly smiles
that gleamed on those dark nights

Eager heart sharing ill fated love
with this lucky, grateful lover...

Gracious sun-lit falls
reveal nature’s peaceful calls
like polished opals.

Keen river currents
in periodic movement,
like soap detergent

lead gravity’s fists.
Pathways hidden in steamed-mist.
Treasure found at tryst.
  
Now beauty, I gaze
Through the subtle sparkling phase, 
Let leaves, shed their rays....

Shattered opals flash
Colored prisms aground.
Iridescent light
Twinkles a rich cache
Atop snow's lush white.

Deep hefty snow
Captivates me.
Thick cream blanket
Charms earth with glee.  

Shining sun,
Sitting low,
Prime pose shows

Winter
Opals

Glow.

Pearls of love,
  diamonds of Grace; and
rubies of Mercy.

Opals of life,
  garnets of wisdom; and
crystals of trust.

Love above all love,
  grace, understanding; and
Mercy evolves.

Life of Christ,
  his wisdom and faith; and
trust unending.

Truth shines forth,
  understanding is bright; and
mercy is Great.

Christ, the giver of all,
  faith from his faithfulness; and
trust to him belongs....

Her beauty’s words that speak her mind
So effortlessly they form on the lips
Exposing her being, her true soul and thoughts

Her eyes are as opals, so bright, so clear
Looking fondly to others, for beauty within
Seeing past what may be obvious, into the depths

Her essence is not the obvious, which shows
But proves to be that which she permits to be seen
One must know her to understand all that she can be...

My brother is an osprey
with an eagle arrogance
And - although he adores a forest
I have the ‘sauce’ on him - he
abhors pine bathroom spray

His eyes are fire opals of mirth
His laughter - the dusk of an 
endless Summer heat
His legs - straddle the valley of death

I picture him in a strong canoe paddling through
a river of garden flowers 
 his spirit rising with swift wings-
 and the will to fall

She was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen.
As I sat there, pen hovering above the parchment 
She was all I could think about.
Her complexion brought to mind olive shale.
She wore a dress,
It was the most wonderful shade of blue, india ink.
With eyes like big blue opals 
And hair an amazing shade of brown
That one could only call brass tack.
She was beautiful as a jade.
She is my wife.
She was, and is, my Lyndhurst jade....

Your laughter 
Sparkles
Like sunshine
In glistening raindrops
On shimmering cottonwood leaves
Dancing in a gentle,
Early-morning wind

Your laughter
Warms and glows 
Like a chilly winter 
Evening’s camp fire
On a frozen mountain top,
Caressing mind and soul
And body like a radiant purr

Your laughter
Is brilliant diamonds,
Mosaic opals,
Scintillating stars,
Joy unleashed, unfettered,
Abounding in jubilant freedom and
Utterly opulent luxury...
