something was falling out of the sky last night
plummeting towards earth coated in a blinding light
the wilting rose on my windowsill rose as it zoomed by and gave it life
"it makes diamonds jealous" someone said to me in a soft amaze

did it hurt?

Many people use diamonds as metaphors for the worth of hard work
Or a 'refining fire' in which pain and effort make you stronger
What they don't talk about is that diamonds aren't that rare anymore
Everyone has their individual struggles
Everyone works hard for their dreams
And everyone loves a happy ending
But the American dream is a dying thing

A diamonds' worth lies in their symbolism, of promise and unity
But even marriage doesn't last very long anymore
My cousin was married for eight days
I guess what I'm wondering is,
What is the worth of a dream?
Does it fade like that of a diamond?

You're beautiful
underneath your clothes
your skin
your flesh
your bones
you're beautiful beneath your heart
in the places you hurt most
in your flaws
and cracks
and broken past
you're beautiful
after long days  
rough nights
first thing in the morning light
you're beautiful
without all your pretty things
I would rather have
the heart beating within your chest
than the pearls or diamonds
from around your neck
its there
that all your beauty begins
and circles and never ends

To me, your heart is special
So is your soul, far more precious
than the most expensive
diamond, there is
For it knows
Love

His heart's a bursting fountain of joy. His mind, a vortex of sorrow. I wish the former saved the latter.

Out on the diamond
a great place to play
I could watch those boys
hitting and running all day
Grab a seat in the bleachers
and shout out "Hooray"
out on the diamond
a great place to play

The shortstop looks restless
he flies to the bag
the catcher throws down
and he puts down the tag
the runner hears "out"
as they put him away
out on the diamond
a great place to play

The pitcher's a lefty
and throws a mean curve
that last one was filthy
just watch that thing swerve
the three hitter K'd
slams his bat on the plate
out on the diamond
he swung it too late

The innings were short
but the game was a treat
as we watch the away team
go home in defeat
the best gem of April
is opening day
out on the diamond
the best place to play
Couldn't help myself. Go Mariners!!

The diamonds , they are hard
harder than any stone
They are cut , into their cuts
harsher than any stone
They are sharp ,edges sharper
The one with money and power
wear it as their armour .
The light that fall ,
they shine , they sparkle , they glimmer
and take all the attention over .
They have major female followers
who yearned it to be gifted from their lovers.

I would rather have your heart for just one day
                                  than have a million diamonds and waste away
