Hypnotic and Deep
I inherited a magnificent antique natural black diamond ring,
it is an impure crystal from Central Africa, it is entirely opaque;
a precious gem, absolutely beautiful and quite valuable,
a mesmerizing color created by nature, it touches my very soul.
It inspires me with it's hypnotic quality taking me deep,
and I see it's power in my accessories, always black and sensual;
the black diamond is mysterious and shrouded in drama.
many a death has been cast by a particular black diamond stone.
I did research and found out- a famous black diamond,
was pried from the eye of a statue in a sacred shrine temple;
in Pondicherry, India by a travelling monk thief, so the myth says,
the theft created a cursed diamond called the Eye of Brahama.
The myth then states that the diamond caused three deaths,
people would throw themselves off high buildings by suicide;
later the diamond was cut into three breaking the curse,
of course, my ring is not one of the pieces, yet is still lovely.
The days I wear my ring and my lovely black accessories,
I transcend this world, my makeup and hair become magical;
seeing the world with my third eye and it is so very amazing,
I am a different girl- dark, sensual, and so very mysterious.
And when I take off the black ring and accessories,
a mere girl stands in front of the mirror, natural and glowing;
the magic is gone but the inner peace remains and inspires,
I think what we put on our bodies should have a soul-
hypnotic and deep.
