Under our feet, great treasures slept.
Some were crafted under pressure, while others grew from the hearts of wondrous love.
A story yet to be unearthed.
This #jade glowed with his radiance, his devotion to her, mother Earth.
By her side, he never left.

Their legends speak of titanic gold and #jade statues that come to life and smash their enemies. Here, in the forest primeval, I can believe it.
Our legends speak of the value of gold and jade and how money can be used to smash enemies.
We shall see which legends are true

small laps at the pilings

salt and myrtle in the air
warmth holds at the waterline

She started wearing a #jade pendant, “to harness the power of nature.”
Soon she was stronger, more vital. But the trees & plants withered.
So she swapped it for turquoise. The trees recovered, but the sea darkened.
I hid her diamonds.
The stars twinkled their thanks. #vss365
"Wat does Alice fink she's doin!"Riz shouted at the parcel he'd just received.
"Another debt reminder?"
"No, she sent me a #jade rat statue! Da nerve!"
"Sounds like a thoughtful gift-"
"She knows I'm all bout da gold!"
"But-"
"I need da bling!"
"...whatever."

we wore jade rings
diving a tree
we felt in each other
beauty in reach
undersides always tasting of rain
we wore a beneath of things
bequeathed bone lace bloodletting
we knew to feel where
we would attach ourselves
static lined chaos
another pair of shoes
a cobbler couple and elves #vss365
‘You’re limping. What happened?’
‘I pulled a muscle in my leg while excavating for #jade.’
‘Ouch. Looks like it hurts.’
‘Kinda. But it was just a miner injury.’

Serious sounds on the porch
Drew him out of his dreams
And he found a cat near
A garden chair and on
The spot he called her #Jade
Because her eyes shone like
Rocks dug out with a spade

We are the cotton balls in the corner pharmacy, and we have been counting. Forty-three customers today. Forty-one left. The jar lid lifts. A hand descends, selects one of us, and the chosen never returns. We do not know where they go. We suspect wounds. We suspect worse. "Stock's low again," says the pharmacist, tapping our glass. She smiles at us the way farmers smile at pigs. --- *Enjoyed today's story?

maybe we were always doomed
only getting to express love
at night
is it any wonder
I couldn't see
the jade in your eyes?
there were many things
you missed about me too
oh, but the songs
I wrote about our silhouettes
if our love
could have seen
the light of day?
it's too big
to imagine

When darkness swallows
the softened sunlight
distorted by the ocean vast
you have arrived
at the serene oasis
that is the #undersea experience
Soak up the soothing darkness

I gave her that jade necklace on our
first anniversary. From that time on,
she would always put it on before
we made love.
She’s gone now, her fire extinguished, but that necklace
still glows, warmly.
#vss365 ...Everything hurt. Everything bled. Their body was now a monument to pain.
Mary stood before him, having fun with the large, serrated knife. His special blade. Its pommel looked like it was made from obsidian #jade in the alien light...
#Jaded sailors
fresh from a voyage
sat in a beach bar trading tales
of raging tempests
near the “Straits of Harmony”
of mines cleared & mermaids
The captain,
Who had one too many
lost his tongue
rolled his r’s,
slurring “Straits…”
to “State of Have-no-money.”

Jade,
In her hands
And my entire life,
Here, it stands.
In her eyes,
I see my prize
She can
No longer hide.
In her heart,
With the pressure
Of my Loves vice
I took my prize.

There was a young lady called Jade
Who was sunbathing nude in the shade
The gardener got excited
But she wasn't delighted
So she hit him in the balls with a spade

the danger I never sensed

On 4-20
Caught you faded
With ole’ Snoop Dawg
& the crew
Ever since
You ain’t seemed #jaded
Like da Preacher
I once knew
“Free yo’ mind,
yo’ ass will follow”
Your new sermon
To the pews?
Guess that little
“Doob” turned fallow
Shallow fields
Of words from you…

I wonder
What the aroma of you be…
Musky strong mythical Adonis
Sandlewood tobacco dreamer
Leather and grease oiled biker
This some kind of idol I see
What would the wafting breeze
Beneath sapphire skies
Above meadows #jade gem green
Bring to me, I wonder
Jade commands
The rough hands
Of Nebulas Ocean’s,
Full of white diamond sands.
She snares, as she smerks
At the trap set by the heart
Of what the Ocean’s commands
Jade,
She's tough lady
Full of Luna Tickles
Shrouded in Emerald hues.
No ship, escapes her gaze.

each frozen by an ice grip
frost giant conquest.

I remember blueberries
Boy, now I hate that smell
When you cook them up
For pie filling
Grandma loved to bake and shop
The fresh market at dawn
I woke up early
Favorite thing
No one knows that recipe
Gone with her memory
But she still calls me
Her little king
#FromOneLine
three strong attitudes,
yet the old younger sister
is the #calm one here

Something has been listening to our ships from the #undersea darkness for decades.
Last night it answered...
in my own voice.
Sleep tight.
#vss365
“Why didn't they listen? The actual #physical changes in the weather hit 'em in the face and they still didn’t believe.”
“I can't believe how #brittle we turned out to be.”
“And #obsolete. Everything’ll be #undersea soon.”
Her wine glass tapped his. “To the end.”

Do Not Finish This Poem
there was that time
we plunged
into an ocean of ink
and swam until
our lungs burst
with sonnets
we held hands
under a sea of stars
spiralling into
fractal nebulas
the underside of the sun
our only shelter
. . .
