I Dreamt of You In Diamonds

I dreamt of you in Diamonds
The essence of refracted lament
Advantageous to the brought
Juxtaposed with rainbowed purpose
Two fold in ambition, yet distinct
With its discourse.

I dreamt of you in Numbers
The essence of logical reign
In admonition and retribution
The pearly facets of disdain
Perplexing your inherent shadows
With warmth and simple subtlety.

I dreamt of you in Water
The essence of sweet dispersion
Cast to the shadows 
In a Lifeless quietude;
Its relevance never given
Amidst boasted crests
Of indifference to change,
Your attitude.

Daniel Henry Rodgers Date: 8/27/2024 5:00:00 AM Dear Michele, I always love to seek out poets that I have not read and today I fell upon your poems and have been delighted by your words. In this particular poem I very much loved how you explore the complexity of human relationships and perceptions, suggesting that our understanding of others is often fragmented, abstract, and shaped by our own emotions and experiences. A wonderful philosophical read. - Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel Login to Reply Michele Godleske Date: 8/27/2024 11:02:00 AM I’m glad you enjoyed the read, Daniel. That means a lot to me.
