Diamonds and Dew Drops, O' Don'T They Shine
Light and Dark, World As It Truly Is.......
(1.)
Diamonds And Dew Drops, O' Don't They Shine
Diamonds and dew drops, O' don't they shine
loving, I don't want to stop, you're so fine
Darling silk and lace, beauty of your face
your kiss, your loving smile, your graceful grace.
Diamonds and dew drops, O' don't they shine
holding this thought, God blessed you are mine
Darling with you love is true, love is right
with you, life is sweet, with love's highest height.
Diamonds and dew drops, O' don't they shine
romance is alive, life is so very fine
Darling, I so long for your warm embrace
my love, my all- you nothing can replace.
Diamonds and dew drops, O' don't they shine.
Babe, on romance and love we both shall dine.

Old note- 1981, deleted
New note- April 7th, 2020
I've decided to not alter a word of this old poem.
I was very tempted to edit it but thought-- no let
it stand as is- as a reminder of my past writings
of my youth....

World Has Now Sharpened Its Darkest Sword
World has now sharpened its darkest sword
gifting us dire black menace, hidden horde
slashing to destroy sweet life and much more
into peace and joy massive hole it tore.
Invisible beast raging on and on
Will we kneel, shall we now pray, soon its gone!
World has now sharpened its darkest sword
as we sit home often fearful and bored
such a nightmare, will it forever stay
wrecking havoc as its victims it slays.
Invisible beast raging on and on
Will we kneel, shall we now pray, soon its gone!
World has now sharpened its darkest sword
as we see deaths its black-hand has scored
cutting down mankind, with its wicked blade
from dark hellish pits, its journey was made.
Invisible beast raging on and on
Will we kneel, shall we now pray, soon its gone!
World has now sharpened its darkest sword
washing its terror in a bloody ford
preying on helpless souls, a heartless beast
salivating in its pitiless feast.
Invisible beast raging on and on
Will we kneel, shall we now pray, soon its gone!
