in his hands he held a chunk of rock within it lay a diamond of beauty he pined to extract her from the ore for he so wanted to see her perfections yet she'd not be cajoled out of her mother load's material
he pondered over the gem so exquisite how he yearned to sense her facets gleaming exclusively for him but she was embedded and unreachable there she'd stay in the rough mantle's ore ne'er could she be his to embraceΒ Β
he'd not feel her heart palpating along side him all hopes were dashed his longing would remain the lovely diamond not releasing out of the rock's permanent casing
