Cinderella change....

Mornings of  rubies and sapphires are fine
  Afternoons  of Topaz and turquoise  divine
Evenings with Emeralds   shine bright
But nothing compares to a Black Diamond night...

Seven sisters in topaz blue,
Dazzling in crystal Winter sky,
An eager hunter doth pursue;
Yet it's all in vain he doth try
To glory in polygamy
For gods said it's not meant to be!...

Rainbows of lightning
Amber gold
Topaz sun sighted
Colors glow
Egyptian magic
All I know
Honey-green static
Through window
Middle age mountains
I behold
Blue frigid fountains
In my soul...

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...

bunnies in the field
red and yellow butterflies
hued floral frenzy

bunnies in flowers
with a hop skip and a jump
wind's at the window

colorful bunnies 
frolic golden afternoon
under topaz skies...

Summer Gems

A ring of bright topaz
 crowned the ruby sun today
Opal rays danced
 On emerald leaves,
Played on sapphire seas
 Like bright diamonds of dew

Tease, tempt, coax and cajole till purchased
And wrench the hearts of young and old
Blaze seated on rings and chains
As though culled from hot sun
In Shades bright or light
Red, blue, green, pink
Topaz stones
Glint like
Stars...

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.......

Seraph in señora form
She moves. Nay, floats
Across opulent floors...
Swaying
Strolling
Sauntering
Her unnoticed, untouched outfit
touching touch-me-not touch
Her crystal topaz physique....
Spirit
Searching 
Something that’s unseen

Her eyes are like glittering shards of light blue topaz
They see into my soul and pull out my hidden thoughts
I try to avoid her, but she is everywhere, appearing suddenly
Is she an angel, a soul reader or what?
I do not know
But here she comes now...

“Oh doctor, doctor
You must help me
I have been afflicted
Most horribly
I keep quoting
William Topaz McGonagall”
The doc replied
“We can’t help you at all”
“Oh doctor why
Cant you treat me for it”?
He replied 
“Because this is the Burns unit”...

wearing a gorgeous blue topaz necklace
confiscated from the spoils of the Titanic
a sultry siren blows watery smoke rings in the Atlantic
waiting for a handsome naive sailor
willing to follow her down the depths of despair
where extra loot lies in wait...

Scattered Shards Gathered

Scattered shards, remnants of Eden,
Gathered to a ring of bright topaz
A simultaneous soliloquy of intentionality
At the crux of intersecting avenues.

What is that glow near yonder red leaf.
near a willow still sharing grief?
A gem, perhaps, or sunbeam
with drops of cinnamon.
I won't hazard guess,
but I confess
topaz gems
are nice
spice!

Blue against blue,
Mine are sea-like,
Yours more bright,
Fresh and planetary,
Worlds I know and
Love and explore.
No flowers or fruits
Are brushed with enough sky
To merit comparison.
Only nature’s strongest;
Sapphire,
Topaz,
Agate,
Can claim a likeness
To your eternal blue....

In a sky of bluest topaz
I saw the citrine-shattered sun
Glean emeralds from each blade of grass
And gild the elm leaves platinum

Silence, save for the autumn breeze
And in my pockets, not a dime
But do not tell this poet, please
That October’s treasures can’t be mine....

Cat or Dog? Oh No-
I want a panther
with more spots than I have
on his long lean body
no matter how much time 
he spent sunbathing
in his youth.

Neatly aligned ears, 
cosmetic frown
furrowed in his brow, 
plank-like nose above
an I Mean Business 
mouth, and OH! 
those  topaz eyes....

I have twenty-seven rings
Most never see daylight
lingering in my jewelry box

My two favorites are on my hands daily
one a red ruby, the other a blue topaz
with a rainbow opal band.

I have diamond rings somewhere too.
They do not have the color I crave.
My artist self needs these two....
