Teddy Kimathi Poet Narrative

Black Diamond

She has a treasure;
a treasure she didn't know
she had, until someone told her
a black diamond was hidden
in her throat. It wasn't painful
having it lodged inside her throat.

In fact, her boyfriend liked it to stay
that way; having a lover with a black
diamond in her throat.

As time passed, the black diamond
gave her the ability to get jewelry,
a chauffeur, and tonnes of shoes. She
went to her musical performances
with helicopters and private jets.

Her voice was the best thing that had
ever happened to her.

Daniel Turner August 2, 2016 at 6:39 AM I have never heard of a black diamond voice Teddy but I get it. I suppose a voice could be considered a black diamond. Something rare and beautiful. A unique interpretation. Teddy Kimathi August 2, 2016 at 3:26 PM Lol, thanks for enjoying my piece, Daniel!! ;-)
