Black Stones and Diamonds (2007)

I am a diminutive black stone

pity is why I happen to be known

 

laughed upon by others of my kind

to my true beauty they are blind

or am I beautiful at all says my subconscious mind

 

Shame filled, insult weathered

my soul feels tarnished tethered

 

If I only had one life, one night one day

What would be sat beside these black stones along the way

 

dazzling magic, daunting

the other partnered stones gripped by the haunting

 

The radiance

The grace

its throne

 

Why is it paired with this simple black stone

 

Through your complex and masterful shape

these diamonds let my poise escape

 

As when these basic black stones placed with you

black stones will make their first unshameful debut

 

Diamonds and black stones together tonight

you will cause a new time to ignite

 

Thank you diamonds for your time, care and respect

you have made this final page to this chapter…

 

Perfect.

 

 

This was written for the lovely life long friend that accompanied me during Highschool Graduation. Having the best looking date in my entire graduating class is something i will never forget - Thank you Allison
