About This Poem

Diamond Jewel

As I met her I encountered the Gods
a brilliant, jeweled diamond with the
dark skinned branches of a wild oak.
Her kindness soothed like fine lotion
as my heart sailed to the depths 
of her seas.

Then arose a thunder cloud, the intruder 
blazing with bullets shot once, then twice
as my heart burst he stole her soul and 
lied about me denouncing all threads
of kindness

Left alone, desolate on a barren isle
I survived and bitterly flourished as 
the black storm broke my bones in 
desolation... all I remember was
she was my diamond jewel.
