Today I Saw a Diamond Cry

Today I saw a diamond cry For your beauty stole its shine The flowers all began to sigh For you make them all benign The stars no longer reflect the moon For you have become their light Even the sun is not immune For he chases away the night Your shadow makes the sun rejoice He follows where ever you go His love for you has bound his voice Or he would have told you so Even the breeze whispers your name Just to touch your hair Your shadow tries to share your fame She follows you everywhere Today I saw a diamond cry For your beauty stole its shine Not a day goes by that I don't ask why The Good Lord made you mine

Wow Larry, this is a poem like no other. This is the holy grail of all poem. I gave you a 7 but it should have been a 10. Wowa!!! I love your debt of metaphors in this poem describing one's beauty and the love how deep it feels. Unbelievable magic talent. Luv, Gail
