The pearl and waves
Easy to trace are errors,
Like waves above the sea.
Hard to find is the core,
Like pearls deep in the sea.
The one who sees the waves
Misses the very pearls.
That is why, I see in you,
Underneath, the pearl, dear.

940 Pearl Birthstone Of June
Pain produces perfect pearl
For pearls are not just mineral
Aphrodisiacal oysters
Provide perfect pearls - pre-packaged!
Inside their shells gently growing.
The pearl symbolises - purity
In love - in life - in liberty.
Pain produces perfect pearl.
Natural pearls are so spontaneous
Growing slowly throughout lifetime
Seven years inside the mollusk
Gulfs of Persia - California
Jordan - Mexico and Mannar
Pearls of every size and colour
White - silver - cream - green - black and blue
Natual pearls are so spontaneous.
Birthstone pearls grace Joyful June
Fueling faithfulness and friendship
Healing heads and hearts and hearing
Bringing wearers nearer Heaven
Twinned with Zodiac sign Gemini
Channels the strength of Sister Moon
Pulsating purifying power.
Birthstone pearls grace Joyful June
Polished pearls give perfect pleasure
Pain produces perfect pearls
Natural pearls are so spontaneous
Birthstone pearls grace Joyful June.
June Joyful grace pearls Birthstone
Spontaneous so are pearls natural
Pearls perfect produces pain
Pleasure perfect give pearls polished.
This poem is dedicated to a Polished Pearl.

I Put Pearls Around Her Neck
i put the off-white pearls
around her neck
she loves all of them
because i grow them all myself
priceless
she does not intend to tell you
how happy she is
licking and swallowing each pearl
deep down in her heart
these pearls are hers forever

Small gestures are beads of pearl
Small
gestures are
beads of pearl
in the life of
every personality
Many pearls join
to make beautiful
jewellery
Worn to enhance
the beauty
Collect these pearls
on day to day basis
Greet when you meet
Smile from the heart
Don’t think it’s an art
For simple and humble
It’s very easy
Wanna make life
easy and cozy
Forget getting angry
Avoid life getting gory
Choose this way and
make everyone happy
Live life full of glory
Enhance it with
pearls of courtesy

Tears of Pearls
And we stare each other down
like vicitms in the grind
Probing all the weakness
and hurt still left behind and we cry
The tears of pearls
We do it. Oh we do it.
Is love really the tragedy the way you
might describe?
Or would a thousand lovers
still leave you cold inside?
Make you cry...
These tears of pearls
[chorus: ]
All these mixed emotions we
keep locked away like stolen pearls
Stolen pearl devotions we
keep locked away from all the world
Your kisses are like pearls

Runnin' Scared
Leah, Leah.
Leah, Leah.
Here I go
From the hut to the boat to the sea
For Leah.
I've got to go diving in the bay.
Got to get a lot of oysters, find some pearls today.
To make a pretty necklace for Leah, Leah.
I've got to go deep and find the ones just right.
I'll bet my Leah will be surprised tonight.
I'll place the pearls around the only girl for me, Leah.
But something's wrong, I cannot move around.
My leg is caught, it's pulling me down.
But I'll keep my hands shut tight, for if they find me,
They'll find the pearl for Leah.
And now it's over. I'm awake at last.
All heartaches and memories from the past.
It was just another dream about my lost love, Leah.
Leah, Leah.
Leah, Leah.
Here I go, back to sleep and my dreams.
And I'll be with Leah, Leah, Leah.

Pearler
The ocean of absurdity
a man dives in abyss
search for pearls.
He sells them and drinks.
When his pocket empties
again he goes.
One day the pearls were no more
and he never come back ashore.
Ocean didn't bother
and the waves not stopped.

The Merchant
Imagine, mother, that you are to stay at home and I am to travel
into strange lands.
Imagine that my boat is ready at the landing fully laden.
Now think well, mother, before you say what I shall bring for
you when I come back.
Mother, do you want heaps and heaps of gold?
There, by the banks of golden streams, fields are full of
golden harvest.
And in the shade of the forest path the golden champ flower
drop on the ground.
I will gather them all for you in many hundred baskets.
Mother, do you want pearls big as the raindrops of autumn?
I shall cross to the pearl island shore.
There in the early morning light pearls tremble on the meadow
flowers, pearls drop on the grass, and pearls are scattered on the
sand in spray by the wild sea-waves.
My brother shall have a pair of horses with wings to fly among
the clouds.
For father I shall bring a magic pen that, without his
knowing, will write of itself.
For you, mother, I must have the casket and jewel that cost
seven kings their kingdom.

Pink Pearl Necklace
Pink Pearl Necklace; and heaven is this,
My island an afterthought mornings glow
and pink sands where coral waves grow.
Happy are the clams every night as pink
sand washes them in your dreams.
Under water so clear I sometimes forget
and stay to long listening to the waves
sing your pink song.
Drifting with the currents of sleep pearls of
yours pink, slip out from beneath my hand.
Filaments permeate the strings of your
dreams leaving me behind on a pink pearl
necklace on this island yours made of dreams.

Pearl withers not
You shed your charm
So alarmingly.
To me still of charm
You are,
As much as I saw
A decade ago,
The very same in form
When you were with me,
And alike in love and spirit
As you held me then.
Who-else can see you
The way I can?
Who else can admire you
The manner I do?
You are still to me
As you were in prime days.
Bone and flesh are the waves,
Underneath lies the heart, the pearl.
In you I see and I saw
Only the pearl
And changes in waves
In oblivion go.
New admirers might be rare.
Old admirer in me is still there.
Catch up! Glory!

Dolphin
Where is the lovely dolphin
I used to swim beside?
We toured the sparkling grottos
or drifted with the tide
whereever fancy led.
My dolphins' eye was indigo
My dolphins' cheek was amber
Her back was dark as cuttle's ink
Her belly purple-silver
and her fins were lavender.
Oh, the waves are the laughter of water!
My dolphins' neck was supple
Smooth and sleek her sides
The purple sea behind her
would momently divide
and quickly fall behind.
I clung about her lightly
Or rode her like a mare
She gathered her beneath me
And leapt the wild waves over
Nor did she ever tire.
Oh. the waves are the laughter of water!
I told her I her love bore
She showed me where to find
The pearls and silted gallies
And how to sift the sand
for catcheted doubloons.
Oh, the waves are the laughter of water.

Fine Pearls
To the flute players,
To the professional mourners,
Don't cast your pearls before the swine;
What kind of man is this that i have to touch his tallit?
Fine pearls, fine pearls!
What kind of woman is this?
She who had been the wife of Uriyah.
To sit down with Abraham,
To sit down with Isaac,
TO sit down with Yaaqob,
Your eyes will see this and more;
For i am the one with the fine pearls.
Was Cain not Abel's brother?
Was Esau not Yaaqob's brother?
Outwitted by the wise men when,
The fine pearls were laid bare.
Meek and lowly in heart,
Where are you lovely ones?
He who is not with me is against me,
But my mind will always write.
To be trained like a bird,
To be trained like a pilot,
Like a young child and his father;
Peace to the heavens with the fine pearls when,
My mind do the writing.

Sullen Girl
Days like this, I dont know what to do with myself.
All day - and all night.
I wander the halls along the walls and under my breath.
I say to myself.
I need fuel - to take flight -
And theres too much going on.
But its calm under the waves, in the blue of my oblivion.
Under the waves in the blue of my oblivion.
Is that why they call me a sullen girl - sullen girl.
The dont know I used to sail the deep and tranquil sea.
But he washed me shore and he took my pearl -
And left an empty shell of me.
And theres too much going on.
But its calm under the waves, in the blue of my oblivion.
Under the waves in the blue of my oblivion.
Under the waves in the blue of my oblivion.
Its calm under the waves in the blue of my oblivion.

The Pale Man
Deathly pale belongs to the sea
tells you here's the beginning
in the depth of misery
you feel the spirit within.
A torrent river, a storm tossed tree
it's like a rugged stone
rolling waves won't let you free
because your time is gone.
All the damned, veiled in grey, bound together
and demand of the pale man who's crossing the way,
and never come back to land.
He entrusts himself without taking care
to wild seas every day
and this old world, world of the sea
endlessly he must be.
His heart is like an ocean so deep
knowing storm, ebb and flow
and too many pearls, pearls of beauty
rest in his depths below.
He is one of the creatures of the sea,
he is called the palest man,
he's one of the creatures who can't break free until eternity,
the pale man who's got Neptune's key.

Writing Days Of Oblivion
is a way to make the bird define the length of its flight
fearing there will be too much to cast back in what's meant to be
just poems of the past looking for the words of the future
both spelled in moments caught like treasure pearls
sealed deep withing the shells of silence
singing with the waves 'we've got nothing to conceal
but what you hear is not what we really reveal'
just as I make 700th circle on the tree trace
to define the age of its growth towards the sky
I stay deaf towards a benevolent warning to forget
because if we forget it will be forgotten
even if what one gives is so rarely the thing taken

Tricks Of My Fate
In the moonlit beach Marina,
very severe was the cold.
The waves shrouded in brightness
galloped towards the shore
and made me stand ‘way before. 5
Being a jobless youth,
the calm sea my mind would soothe.
But in that dead of night, I
went there to chase the waves
to the deep where it pearls saves. I0
Oh, some ghost is there
washing its feet in waves.
Stunned and breathless I was
rooted in that spot,
phantoms I had a lot. I5
Going to sink and die,
why I should fear for a guy.
Walking ahead a little,
heard I her groans and sobs
and weeping to leave this world. 20
“ Failure in love or life is
Common to humanfolk.
Suicide is not the track
to walk at, once you lass;
then the whole world will die alas”. 25
Leaving her safely at home,
trod I all the night.
I can’t leave this dim earth
unless He calls me there
by allowing some time to flare. 30.

Pearls of Truth
Be careful with whom you dine, as not to cast your pearls to swine,
People who shoot from the hip, when we select men for fellowship.
As believes actions must coincide, with the Spirit who dwells inside,
Reacting to cause God no shame, departing from all who the same.
Spiritually discerning we must be, when sharing the Truth of Eternity,
Though we know some very well, we’re different as Heaven and Hell.
Even some very dear to our heart, regarding God we stand far apart,
And sharing God’s pearls of Truth, only invites scoffing and reproof.
But, God above will bridge the gap, as we follow the Believer’s Map,
Which is the Eternal Word of God, as we travel upon the earthly sod,
On a journey to a Heavenly home, prepared by Christ, to be our own,
Eager to bring others with us friend, before this journey sees its end.
Following God’s guide from above, we must show our enemies love,
As The Lord’s Spirit works in them, we should seek to be their friend,
As God’s soldiers of the Cross, we are on a journey to seek the lost,
Allowing God to lead the way, as the Spirit gives us the words to say.
So when others see we truly care, God’s pearls of Truth we can share,
As their hearts become open to, God’s Truth, that saved me and you.
We just need to be prepared, for when men want God’s pearls shared,
And God’s Spirit will do all the rest, when we just do for God our best.

People Are Like Pearls
It's true that people are like pearls
Each shining in the sun,
To God, they're just like boys and girls
All busy having fun...
And while there's irritation known
To visit every soul,
Through prayer each needn't feel alone,
Outside of God's control...
As time goes by, like pearls we sleep,
Amid a darkened room,
Just gliding in a midnight deep,
To wake, we would assume...
Cocooned a while, yet growing still
Through weeks and months and years,
Not one of us possessing skill
As all of this appears...
We merely grow, from tiny things,
Within the space God gives,
Not knowing what the future brings,
Yet that's how each one lives...
We shield ourselves from harm and pain,
We nestle where we are
And if we think there's much to gain,
We'll wish upon a star...
Together, pearls make jewellery,
United in one cause
And we could share such harmony
If we obeyed God's laws...
Each tiny pearl transforms with growth,
For beauty waits in store
And beauty is God's treasure trove,
Of that, you can be sure...

Lost To Your Love
When we first met, I was lost
Lost in the deep moonlight ocean
That I found in his eyes
When we first met, I was lost
Lost in the pale pink rose
That I found resting upon his cheek
When we first met, I was lost
Lost in the light brown bark of a tree
That I found on his skin
When we first met, I was lost
Lost in the pearls
That I found just underneath those perfect lips
When he left, I was lost
Lost in a whole new way
No more deep blue eyes
No more pink roses
No more perfect pearls
And when he left, I was lost
Lost in the sorrow
That I found in my heart
