JEWELS
Jewels for love,
for us,
for our love,
precious, so precious,
beautiful settings
upon our chests.
On our skin, gold,
rubies, shining gems,
diamonds, colored beryls,
silver to make us beautiful.
Caresses upon us,
great topazes.
Sea aquamarines,
all to make us lovely,
to help us feel better,
to give, for us,
they grace our lives.
Stones that are gifted to us,
cufflinks to dress ourselves,
chains to embellish.
Moments to show ourselves,
to be something and much more.
Jewels for those beautiful days.
Moments to feel better,
in the company of our jewels,
to adorn those brighter days.
Great topazes to shine uniquely,
everything money can buy: jewels,
to be as we wish to be, jewels of life.
Instants to boast in the beauty of living,
moments to wrap ourselves in the luxury of loving,
among precious gems to make us feel well.

Nicely written. Your poem revolves around the metaphor of jewels as representations of love and moments of happiness.
Thank you so much for your words; sometimes we just want to adorn the world with poems
You are my friend.
Thank you very much for your friendship; there is no greater gift than having friends who offer us the precious gift of kindness.
Jewels come in many forms from mineral to special people to poems and each can be a jewel. Lovely Carlos
Thank you for your beautiful words.
I’m glad my poem could be seen as one more form of a jewel —
those that shine not only in minerals, but also in people and in the moments we share through art.
Your appreciation adds its own sparkle.
You are most welcome and most kind Carlos
Carlos, I apologize for the delay…just came off finishing a composition and it knocked me flat for a bit. But now about yourpoem...the way you tie jewels not just to appearance but to feeling…to moments and presence…that’s what stands out for me. It turns something material into something more personal and lived. Strong piece, my friend. Very strong and a fave. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
