I craved for more for
As long as I remember
Tailor-made Italian suit
A brand new sports car
That penthouse with a
Postcard city view

So I sold my soul for it
Gave away my innocence
Scarred my mental health
Lost my very joie de vivre
In the process of chasing
Those shinny promises

But now that I got there
I realize that I fought for
No more than fool's gold
Useless junk that'll never
Fill the void that is to exist
Being a broken thing
Hope the future brings some perspective...
Have you ever seen,
White light shine,
Through black diamonds?
Seen the reflection of moonlight,
Off of gold?
Do you walk around parties,
In black suits and dress attire.
How great it feels,
To keep time on gold watches.
Black diamonds,
Silver seas.
I'd give you riches,
If you'd love me.
Trying to capture elegance is not an easy task. Happy Monday everyone!

I think that concludes the collection of poetry
I have called

"Green and Gold"

June 2023 - Dec 2024
Madison Tomes Dec 2024
Gold sprinkles from the ceiling
Green seeps from my eyes
Scent of sweet water in the air
I feel fair in yellow
Head to toe
A monster of glistening lights
Im ugly yet you love me
I adore how money blinds
again experimenting with more styles and feelings.

Transform my sorrow into gold,
For in the furnace of despair,
Life redefines its purpose,
Crafting beauty from the broken.

The Shackles of Gold and Gems that truly shine are exactly what I found on your face.

I know it's late, but then the gold I found in my late life time is worth more than a million gold bars.

Oh my love, little you know of how much I love and care for you. All I wish for is to grow old with you.

I may be dying tomorrow but I'll said to myself "behold this beauty and be happy even in your death".

Take what's for granted.                    
Use it with daily comforts                                                
Watch it disappear  
            
Loose something needed.                      
Become ultimately free                                                    
Cherish everything
            
Looking for the gold.                              
Only the silver appears                          
Better anyways
As stores of value, two titans stand
One old as time, one new in the land
Gold gleams with an ancient lore
Bitcoin opens a brand new door

Yellow metal, mined more each year
Still has too much inflation, we fear
Its authenticity, hard to prove
By ship or plane, it’s forced to move

Bitcoin, child of a digital age
Finite and quick, enters the stage
At light speed, traverses the globe
New frontiers of freedom to probe

Choose the one that you think is right
Gold from the earth, or digital light
Or some of both, for each in their way
Stores up value for a future day

You got this way about you
I can't figure out
All that I said remains true:
I want to see where life takes you


Your gentle hands, unspoken brush strokes—
Why mask your portrait in shades of gray?
Give yourself the same grace


Why is your worth a foreign concept?
You're the epitome of the green and gold


What can I do?
Certainly can't argue—
Just accept a—


simple truth:
you're the
green and gold inside the gray

youre adorned in gold

i'm adorned in silver

your pride is my past

youre solid gold and i'm gold plated,

my silver covered in your gold.
Do not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel—rather let it be the hidden person of the heart"
