Beautiful Scars Poet Sedoka

Black Diamond

Scarce in love’s bounty
traded opaque for darkness
graphite eases soft whispers
    obscure in the night
      she cries for magnificence
         while his reflection turns black

gemstone adamant
symbolize prosperity
carbon overshadows love
   passion can be rare
      murky lust trades easily
         locked in a jewelry box

priceless in beauty
yet cheap to the true sinner
mystical nights cloud expense
   trapped inside a mine
      drilling for her precious gold
         black diamond dwells forever
