In here I found something so rare
Exuding brilliance everywhere
A little stone at your first glance
yet great a value does it bear

While it may seem as not so great
The more you spend your time with it
you’ll change your mind and realise
the things you can appreciate

Especially when you can see
its brightly lustrous qualities
you’ll want to have it all the time
and anywhere that you may be

Indeed it is a treasure dear
alluring always, never blear
it never fails to give me cheer
I hope it never disappears

I have been caring for gems
But knowledge have been caring for me

Together we are alone
the wishers utter was always unheard

the Art of my consort is like ash in the wind 
this purified drift of the eternal fire burning for all eternity

Timid little shell as fragile as the pearl inside
Impurities imparted and manifested into a gem

Let me see the diamond 
the diamond in your mind
I ve been mining with a keen intent
to break down the barriers only to be surrounded by the remains

Im intrigued by lustered reflections of light in these rays of waves in this passing haze of the delicacy protected by your shell

Pandoras box and eves delight
only gives me a peek of that iridescent insight
Such an elusive emblem of the coveted representative Aphrodite

Awakened by impending doom
To
Cross the threshold of a Careless bloom
you turn to me to turn away
that I see
the Diamond is your mental mineral.
we must first be secure with ourselves to relate properly to each other.
we are all so fragile yet so enlightened when our greatest weakness becomes our greatest strength.

There were lights
To guide the way
Stars that shine
Shone in the day

Closed my eyes
To think of them
Inner light
Shone like a gem

If only light
Could always stay
I would wait
A million days.

Just because they don't wolf whistle when you enter a room
Doesn't mean you're ugly, they're just oblivious to your beauty
The fact that you think differently
Doesn't mean you're dumb, your intellect is simply extraordinary
Dear friend, don't throw it all away
All because of some unfortunate soul who didn't ask you to stay
They're the one's missing out, because they refused to dig through all the trash
To find the treasure.
One man's trash is another man's treasure :)

And as I lie here I think of you, to bring me back to my dream of yesterday. Sleeping sound on my island listening to that Leonard Cohen play, hoping that dream will become reality by day, being with you is golder than the dragons treasure and gem named Kai turns my mind to clay.
Today we saw "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies"

who stumbled upon
a pile of rocks
and looked closer than
anyone had before
who found
the first gem
and decided it was valuable
will someone find me? am I even worth being found?

Rare,
a precious stone that I kept in my satchel.
It shed spectrum of colors once you hold it.
It's refined  edges makes  it strong and fierce.

My precious gem,
hears  my silence and feels my heartaches.
We shared happiness and pain,
in the world no one can define.
Emerald Green, I  handle you with care cause your the precious gift I received.
Gem is my friend who knows my imperfection and love me like I'm the perfect person. She's my confidant, supporter and believer

Gem
Chain of gold we have
Locked our hearts and sealed as one
Our gem forever
Love...

you're a melancholic blue rock
who's oblivious to what you're parallel of

just a slight erosion I noticed,
as I picked up
the little crumbles
the gem stones
the tears

crystallizing under crushing pressure;
I know it's aching,
some time to tether
you're (spontaneously) combusting
but you're still as dainty as a feather

don't have to look at your reflection,
just your shadows
then you'll see you're illuminating
and now you know
you're more than enough
you were just
a diamond in the rough.
[to all who are crumbling]
