The Sempiternal Sapphire

Here, the sapphire does not represent only a stone. A breathing living being who undergoes various changes yet chooses never to lose her shine.

Out of nowhere, blowed the outraged zephyr

Trying to diminish the glow of the sapphire.

Evocative and fetching all together 

Knew the wind not that it was nether!

Beleaguered by the wind, never did she cry,

Neither did she succumb into a mournful sigh.

Only believed that it will pass by,

And she will always hold her head high!

Ameliorated, she sat there,

Withstanding the wind; calling it mere.

Somewhere above the albatross cried,

Muffled and obliterated; in silent effluence, the wind crept by.

Then the sun shone in its full glory,

Nowhere was repentance; without it being sorry.

Engaged himself in a dalliance with the sapphire,

Scorched her; dissembling her in his fire!

Crestfallen was the sapphire now,

But promised herself never to bow,

Stronger she would be; made a vow.

Promised; a better route she would plough!

The rain came along,

Leaving behind a demure calmness behind.

Shy at first, then drenched the earth in ebullience. 

Acting as an elixir for efflorescence.

The sapphire sat and let herself drench in petrichor.

Then the autumn was awakened,

Wherein the grip of the roots were slackened.

Left the greens and blooms to wither.

But a new beginning it was, for the sapphire.

The winter trailed in unannounced,

Froze the earth without an ounce of mercy.

Took the earth in its demesne,

But there she sat, shining in her ethereal flames.

The spring created an assemblage of blooms,

Cheered everyone out of their gloom.

The sapphire rejoiced in epiphany

Without losing her shine; for fighting through all the infamy.

Author's Note

I would like to have some feedback on my poems before my poetry book is out in paperback.

I like the idea of using sapphire and weathers, the resilient sapphire stood test of time. The language used here is neat, there are few verses with rhymes and others doesn't rhyme, I presume you intended this to be free-flow. Overall, really good effort.

Yes, it was intentional. Thank you for reviewing :)
