Capricorn Emerald
jewel of winter white
scintillant with the seduction
of a summer's passion
filigreed in golden frame
and accented with threads
of silvered stars

glimmer now ever
through my sable night
shafts of green
renewing a lost heart
taking it to itself
holding it safe
in arms of life

Capricorn Emerald
jewel of winter white
guarding ruby heart
in cavern of home
place yourself in his soul
for so long empty
filling with your love

Okies Sven.
I'm crit you  

Remember all our convos about cliches? I have a question for you: can you think of a substitute image for 'shining'?

Accented threads is nice...

You know what - I have a challenge for you...write a poem using no colour imagery at all...but expressing an emotion..

This piece has some nice touches my friend.

Thank you all my friends for you wonderful replies. . .  

and K, I made a small change to that line. . . I think that word works a little better. . . and, if you'll look around. . . you'll find my answer to your challenge. . .
