#topaz - Hello Poetry

I guess I didn't notice when you went away Comments and critique from you absent, from my day How many accounts, I'll never know how trite and so clique An ego over inflated and my oh my, ever so passe Blocking me, I couldn't see with nothing more too say

Topazically Ignored

I guess I didn't notice when you went away Comments and critique from you absent, from my day How many accounts, I'll never know how trite and so clique An ego over inflated and my oh my, ever so passe Blocking me, I couldn't see with nothing more too say

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz, or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off. I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul. I love you as the plant that never blooms but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers; thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance, risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body. I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride; so I love you because I know no other way than this: where I does not exist, nor you, so close that your hand on my chest is my hand, so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

I Do Not Love You

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz, or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off. I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul. I love you as the plant that never blooms but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers; thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance, risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body. I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride; so I love you because I know no other way than this: where I does not exist, nor you, so close that your hand on my chest is my hand, so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

The forgotten gem among the precious Your love is too dark for a child Also precious Yet pure like a diamond Diamonds are so common Garnet, you are rich Richer than most in quality Perhaps a banker or lawyer would remember you But no, sapphires are rich Richer than dull gold, not rich enough I say You reach new depths, Garry Like an ocean trench filled with the remains of the unknown's lunch Not as deep as the amethyst, apparently That is spiritually charged and better for the soul Your violence is a stain, but I say it is a warning Garnish, you lack value Topaz is the quality they seek The eye of the sun, so bright Too bright The eye of Jupiter is too much, I say enough Oh Garnet Forget Ruby, your sister Forget Emerald, your opposite Forget Opal, all in one, the God of the gems You are Alfred the Great, so great, yet forgotten

Garnet Forgotten

The forgotten gem among the precious Your love is too dark for a child Also precious Yet pure like a diamond Diamonds are so common Garnet, you are rich Richer than most in quality Perhaps a banker or lawyer would remember you But no, sapphires are rich Richer than dull gold, not rich enough I say You reach new depths, Garry Like an ocean trench filled with the remains of the unknown's lunch Not as deep as the amethyst, apparently That is spiritually charged and better for the soul Your violence is a stain, but I say it is a warning Garnish, you lack value Topaz is the quality they seek The eye of the sun, so bright Too bright The eye of Jupiter is too much, I say enough Oh Garnet Forget Ruby, your sister Forget Emerald, your opposite Forget Opal, all in one, the God of the gems You are Alfred the Great, so great, yet forgotten
