Fly from me, sweet dragon, seek

Heed the words, I now, must speak

Find the kingdom, cross the land

Bring to me, the guarded strand

Kept close to she, the princess fair

You must catch her, unaware

Cast this spell, of sleep, upon her

O’er the knights, in forest yonder

Who think I am an ignorant fool

But I shall have their precious jewel

Complete this task, I set to thee

Bring back that which belongs to me

The piece that causes much vexation

For I never utter fruitless incantations

Many secrets were held
In the gems around her neck
Well hidden, years past and present

Though none ever knew
She wore it, quite overt
Always knowing, just what it meant

Smiling, each time
She’d touch the jewels
Remembering all, who came before

Counting the days
Until, it was time
She could, again, add one more

Poor fellow, he
Who courted and wooed
He didn’t stand a single chance

Rosa merely kept him
For her next kill
Twas her secret to true romance

Asleep in the bed of an oyster’s chateau

The jewel of the ocean in illuminating glow

Pink against white against gray, simply grand

Mother of Pearl holds the sea in her hand

Dreams of the beautiful treasure she’ll grow

With one grain of sand and the waters below

Lined with nacre, layer upon layer

Mother of Pearl, iridescent purveyor

Sometimes I lie awake at night
Wondering what tomorrow brings
Silver linings in the clouds
Sunrise made of golden rings

Trees that glisten emerald
Like gems against the sky
Flora dressed in sapphire and ruby
So much grace before my eyes

Silent waters crystal shine
Reflecting off the land
Prismatic shadows dance about
Their colors softly fanned

These beautiful adornments
No bracelet, brooch nor ring
Can ever match the splendid glory
Mother Nature always brings

Cast your eyes upon these stones
Their brilliance sparks a flame
There can be no price upon these jewels
Their cost to grand to name
