A thought for today, my 40th (ruby) wedding anniversary.
Ruby is a pink to blood red gemstone. Name comes from Ruber, latin for red.
Ruby is a computer programming language.
Ruby is cockney rhyming slang for a curry.
Ruby Murray is the Irish singer whose name lives on as the source of the above rhyming slang.
Ruby Wax American comedienne.
Ruby Tuesday, 1966 Rolling Stones song.
She would never say where she came from
Yesterday don't matter if it's gone
While the sun is bright
Or in the darkest night
No one knows She comes and goes
Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you...
Don't question why she needs to be so free
She'll tell you it's the only way to be
She just can't be chained
To a life where nothing's gained
And nothing's lost
At such a cost
There's no time to lose,
I heard her say
Catch your dreams before they slip away
Dying all the time
Lose your dreams
And you will lose your mind.
Ain't life unkind?
Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you...

Second attempt at posting - I'm hopeless!
I liked the poem. It rang a few bells with me too.
Also liked your list of rubies, and singing along with the Stones.
I presume those are your hands decorated with henna, ready for the ruby wedding celebrations ;-)
See you soon. xxx
