Poem
Diamonds We all have so many diamonds that we own, but we think of them as glass or bits of stone. We often sell them as cheap pieces of junk, but yet always we think of them as unknown. The diamonds are the youth, your health, and no pain. Making love with your love, not much to complain. A thousand laughs, a thousand ways to enjoy, Getting old is the pain, no need to explain. My days are darken since my love, she is gone. The nightingales are calling me to hold on. The light is leaving me keeping me in dark. How much darkness there is, I’ll die before dawn. What if life is a bowl, in there, full of pain? The pain is there to drive you and me insane. Remember when we were young bursting with life? My face is wet, is it from tears or from rain? There are only a few days that you are young, on those days you believe that life is unsung. To be young is a dream no youth ever knows. No one is here to hear me what I have sung. If you are golden and like gold full of lust, Or maybe like the kings, you live and you must, You may have all the things all big and all small, At the end of the road, you will become dust. 8/2019 Haloo Note: This poem is in the form of "Rubaiyat", it is the plural form of Rubai. Rubai is a quatrain with the rhyming of AABA. Each Rubai is a book by itself, it starts and ends within the quatrain, but when it's in a form of Rubaiyat, it follows the single theme with the same meter throughout. Poetrysoup has a good explanation of this format. The painting is called " a reminder". It is acrylic on plywood.
