POETIC GEMS
As precious gems shine
Their inner glow sublime.
Dropped as ink from a quill
They sit on the page still.
Composed with great care
With feathers light as air.
Their perfume lingers a while
Their words echo their style.
Thru long years simmered
As distant stars glimmered.
So too their smile does glow
Infinite mystery to bestow.
Like a gem, they break apart,
Their light lodged in the heart.

The brightest of gems warms the peace
ever so lovely!

I think you succeeded in writing a gem of a poem.
