beauty, first love, girlfriend, heartbreak, lost love,
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

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

Oozing with elegance
oh, gemstones carved by God*
offer love and hope to
optimize wellness while
opening blessings' gates
over gloomy blight, midst
October vibrant days
*1 Peter 2:5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

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.

Their delicate nature entices me to try harder
to stare into their translucence and see their souls
They speak to me from a variety of places
They are the opals, and they epitomize imagination
I wear them cheerfully, understanding their need
To show off their full power, and to enhance mine.
They make me bold, wittier, more effervescent.
They are the opals, and they surround a band I wear daily
enhancing a beautiful pear-shaped blue aquamarine
I have loved them forever, my jewelry box is a reflection of this

You sleep well because you are loved. I'm nestled in your arms because I'm protected. I'm drowning in your desire and love spell. Your smooth ebb and flow. You have seize me with your gaze. And you did it so well. That's why you are so loved. There was no goodbyes. I am awaken with sunshine and hello. Still smitten when our fingers cross and our palms are met. Freshly picked hibiscus with dew still on every petal. You are forever loved and more. I have collided with the time and stars of this untainted love. So loved you are. our loving innocence intertwine with romance and opals.
