Gemstone Acrostics

I

Daughter of Clarity,
I want to know
Are you invincible?
Maybe you are unbreakable, as you seem.
Or is there some power
Near here that can
Destroy your heart?

II

Son of Purity,
All shades of blue are compared to your
Perfect tears.
Perhaps some worship
How you glow
In all levels of light.
Reflect upon your
Elemental strength.

III

Radiance's daughter,
Unleash your heat
By opening up and
Yelling out your fire.

IV

Element
Martyr's son,
Everywhere, well-
Rendered shades of you
Are placed in genteel hands.
Little do they know how easy it is to
Deceive.

V

Angel Crystal's daughter,
My heart goes out to you.
Even the deepest royal blood is
Turned away by those who don't know
How truly valuable
You are,
Still, you endure, for you know the
Truth.

VI

To you,
Oldest son of Versatility,
Perfect color comes in many forms.
Always, you form your beauty with
Zeal.

VII

Of all the daughters of Dreams,
Purity in beauty is easiest for you.
Always remember to contain that
Luster that lies within you.

I ...
Needed to read this.
Touchstone verse.
Open these pages.

My eyes are overwhelmed.
You understand yr grace.

Left to find your shadows,
I trace my hands across the dirt.
Bearing rainy flowers.
Roar of waterfall nearby.
All that's left to say or do.
Realize the smooth of gems.
You place clouds in this sky of fire.

Your words are a conception.
On and on they go.
Until their source is found.

Go now, my poet.
Onward. To the deep of self and sound.

(acrostic return)

She said burn ... together.
-TON

An ode to gemstones....
Very interesting freeverse, but I find it hard to tell which verse stands for what gemstone.  It is a challenge to try to figure it out.  Very refreshing!

Super insum rectus elementum.
Prosum in tui tabella.

Very clever and well expressed!  I'm also particulary biased towards Sapphire   I look forward to reading more of your poetry~

Take care,
