Diamond In the Rough

These limbs reach

They stretch to the limit

Of their mortal muscles

Extend towards the gem

In the dark

Shrouded in smoke

These achy limbs are ignorant

Only guessing

As to what this gem is exactly

My head is filled with

A pulling sensation

And it pulls me to this essence

This ruby, gold, emerald.

Or knowledge, riches, companionship.

I only know

That I must have

My diamond in the rough
