Jerry T Curtis Poet Rhyme

Diamond Dust Devil Unplugged

She blows in like a whirlwind

And glimmers like the sea

Her eyes shine like midnight stars

And cold as winter's breeze

She'll promise you the pleasures

That you have never known

You will shower her with gold and jewels

And she'll tease you till you groan

She will take from your friends

Convince you, they're not friends at all

Steal you from your wife and kids

Then stand and make you crawl

Now when she's had her way with you

And your heart's consumed with strife

She'll take from you the one thing left

The precious breathe of life

She's a diamond dust devil 
And she whirls in with the wind 
If you give her time 
Your head will start to spin 
So son don't spend your time 
And through your life away 
Get up off that chair 
You must learn to walk away
