Diamonds Are Forever

There’s a diamond in your eye, like an ocean out of space, that shimmers like a moonstream in another time and place. Glacial blue flames that stir a smile to a grizzly brute. A heart filled with dazzling sapphires makes the gloomy world mute. Softly, I hear your raindrop voice whispering on the windowpane of the time when robin’s eggs two held my life under their sweet reign. But now there is only grey. My fingers talon the callous dirt, as I try to touch your face where you’re buried in the earth.
