Perhaps we re all diamonds.
Hurt to beauty,
breath-taking eventually.

searching and searching
desperately searching
year after year
finally,
you broke the surface
my diamond
your shiny personality
dazzled me
your gifts
wowed me
the endless love
fulfilled me
my diamond
however,
despite the love i gave
i could not break through
your armor
my diamond
turns out
everything was a lie
your "i love you"s
meant nothing
our kisses
our time shared
the secrets i told
meant nothing
to you
you were not a diamond
instead,
a moissanite
faking your way
through life
lying about your family
your health
your education
yet,
i still want you,
my diamond

you
dig for
me in the night
but doors are never
locked, and you creep inside
you want a gem to call your own
but diamonds are always in the
rough, even when you
always wear
them with
pride

The mothbitten light streaked in from the yellow moon, dodging
between ribbons of old curtains and dust, and bounced
from your quiet face in stunned silence.
Your clear and cloudy grey eyes transformed into diamonds,
staining your face with a reflected blue too
beautiful to ignore and not at all dulled, igniting
blazing fires within each iris and bringing them to life.
Wild and honest like the wind, I fell
apart when you looked at me
for you have all of the stars in your eyes
and I wasn't ready to see them yet.

Doesn't life feel larger than all
Isn't life the best thing of all
And the hardest a condition gets is
Mere droplets to a waterfall
Over the past years and years that'll succeed
Neither had and nor will obstacles be rigid
Desire the most, defend the best
Diamond you are, unable to break.

Emeralds and rubies are impure crystals, diamond is just graphite made under pressure; you are an empty soul with a broken heart
All these may be regarded as treasures
but you are still my favorite gemstone

Winter, the long lasting loving season
Sparks the passion that keeps us from freezing
In the coming of togetherness a new life arrives
Reflected in beautiful blue diamond birthstone eyes

A girl envision by many,
with kindness hidden
in a shy expression
But as she speaks open,
her words breaks a million hearts
So she decided,
with hatred for herself,
to never speak her mind again
Only the tears of the girl
remained been shed
though shines like a diamond
Pleading for anyone
to listen for her heart
once again...

the tide rises
as love falls
timeless
and effortless
the tide falls
as desires endure
like diamonds-
resting gently on the shore
the tide surges
as lust tumbles
like a berating beast
its emotions bubble
the sea
like colorless crystals
gnaw with ardor
the skin of intimacy
the tide cascades
as love burns
a feeling once constant--
chastised forevermore
(b.d.s.)

Diamonds are as hard to find
As the words that should be said today
The tears come out as hard
As the words that are left for me to say.

Speak to me of light and shadow
Of Strength built on love, tested in countless invisible battles
Tell me of immeasurable pressure forging a diamond out of what had once been simply organic matter....words will not be enough
But my inner eye will see
My soul recognizing a connection that transcends syllables and sounds
Moonlight turns tears into gems shining at the corner of my eye
Unlock the heart and let the light shine through
The Divine Source channeled and refracted
Almost too brilliant to behold

Diamond crown, diamond rings
Diamond gown, diamond things
Appearance is glittering

Her eyes sparkle
Her cheeks have streaks
From the diamonds she cries
Her tears are more beautiful
So unlike salt water
They shine showing the joy seeping from her soul
She is the epitome of riches
So gorgeous and sad
With her diamond tears
They always mean so much more
For she rarely cries
Her diamonds clinking onto the ground
She is so precious
Far more than the diamonds
That fall from her eyes
I wish I could stop the spilling diamonds
So she could keep that beautiful sparkle
In her soul

you are a diamond unique and rare
your beauty is beyond compare
but you are unaware
so let me declare
your beauty is like no other
you will never find another
let no one tell you otherwise
so take off your disguise

I was once a castaway
Of an unforgiving sea
I made a castle in the sand
To ease the pain in me
I made the ramparts ten feet tall
The walls were four feet thick
I filled the moat with lots of sharks
I built it brick by brick
I walked the walls most every day
No rescuer about
But I did not want folks to come in
I wished to keep them out!
The sand was cast in hate you see
The mortar my foe's blood
I repaired the walls quite often 'coz
My inner tears would flood
Within the walls, a prisoner,
My anger was my meat
My only water my own tears
They washed about my feet
Finally the water rose,
From weeping, o'r my head
Their waves erroded at the walls
And the SEA was fed!
Whilst the walls were quickly shrinking
A tide, like floods, came in!
All the sharks went out to sea,
My destiny was grim!
I made a fine, tall castle, yes,
Of sand & shells & grout
To shelter me within? Oh no!
To keep my loved ones OUT!
And others unforgiven.
And the ones I hated.
And other prejudices, yes,
That went on unabated...
And so I found a Mighty Rock
Upon which I stood.
I finally found life's meaning, *YES!
I finally understood!*
Forgiveness? A DECISION.
To put pride on the shelf.
And freeing up your fellow man
You become FREE YOURSELF.
Though for years, I drank my tears,
My thirst was never slaked.
And hatred's fused & melted sand
Does not a DIAMOND MAKE.

A ring of natural perfume is adorned on you neck
like the sweet dew of April mornings.
Chains of daisies and dandelions,
which hold a thousand wishes each,
connects like bonds created by
you and me.
Let my hair fall
and inhale comforting bliss
while exhaling bothersome regrets.
Watch the sun kiss the earth goodnight
as it lets the sky open
to glittering stars.
None are capable of outshining the twinkle in your eye
or the shine of those soft lips.
None can compare to you,
an April diamond,
flawless and perfect to many
Smooth edges and clear soul,
a birthstone destines to resonate
within the heart, soul, and mind.

.....
the wonder of that starry night was paled
by you.....as you stood at the veranda,
waiting........to board the car...
a smile on your face shone shyly
your dark blue sequined dress
glittered with your every move
you were ready for your prom night...
we took pictures of you, from many angles
and from those various points, i saw
how lovely you have grown to be...
your determination to go, despite the odds
..made you a hard stone...
i have seen, i heard you play your guitar...
it almost made me mad, when you let meals wait,
i felt your stress when you prepared for a debate
i have realized...i have recognized
your many talents and capabilities...they are
your facets, like those of a precious gemstone
your whole being emits a kind of luster, i know,
would brighten even more....with time...
in my eyes, that night, you were...and will always be
...a sparkling diamond.

South Carolina summers were hot,
They were long and dry,
And for Mama, they were lonley.
Mama lived at the very end of our street.
She lived alone,
No chil'ren and no Husban'
She spent her days makin' sweet tea
And leomonaide, and pound cake.
She'd sit on her ol' rockin' chair,
And she'd whistle.
Mama was the best whistler in town,
All the kids in the neighboorhood came by
To hear her whistle.
She'd watch over us,
Scold those in need of scoldin'
She'd tell us not to climb the big oak tree
But we still did.
I didn't know it then,
But those long summers
Were the best I ever had.
The ice in my glass of sweet tea
Shone like diamonds.
And Mama's song,
Still plays in my head.
South Carolina summer were hot,
And they were too short.
