Lady Labyrinth Poet Romanticism

Diamonds

"Diamonds"




I love the rain and the piano. 

We are the diamonds
formed strong under pressure 
we cut glass like blades cut through Winter's ice
the mirror shatters as we touch
they can’t break us

as hard as anyone might try; 

We are the diamonds 
shining bright and beautiful
reflecting light as piano notes 
turn keys to wash clean 
the tears of past pain's refrain

I love the piano and the rain.

We are the diamonds 
camouflaged safe in the dark
impenetrable amongst all covetous shadows 
with their hidden dark eyes watching enviously, 
longingly and with anticipation 

for a high fall from grace

But that won’t happen.
We are the diamonds, 
made of stronger stuff than 
shadows crying tears of past pain's refrain
thin veiled ghosts wanting to be diamonds just the same

We are the diamonds
Shining in the rain

(LadyLabyrinth/2020)

Kai Michael Neumann January 18, 2020 at 3:16 AM I have got diamonds on the sole of my shoes. Uncut and a traveller's best friend. Lady Labyrinth January 18, 2020 at 4:41 PM They sound like some expensive shoes. I notice you come up as "Spain" at present Kai. If you are living THE LIFE travelling the world, kudos to you, most people dream of that....you'll have to tell me about your experiences with the Running of the Bulls. So many places yet to see and experience. L x
