Stars Like Diamonds

Stars like diamonds


The stars are like diamonds, 
shining brightly in your eyes
Illuminating my darkness 
as you cover me with your skies

The moon in it's splendor 
is nothing when compared to you
Your reflection of my love  
comes beaming right on through


Excerpt taken from my poem 
called Universal love.

My how I long for some of that Universal love you speak of dear poet. Nice words, your muse is not asleep, she just wants to bring back the good lines you wrote, so they can be re read and enjoyed. Thank you for sharing have a blessed day day John.

Thanks Sandy, as I mentioned to others songs come easily but poetry doesn't, it seems like too much work but I know I just have to put my mind to it, my problem is I think I've said it all, at least I'm feeling uninspired, but hopefully...

Your poem evokes recollections of staring into a loved one's eyes neath a starlit sky. Beautifully penned, John. You have a romantic soul, my friend. Hugs, Carolyn

That's probably true Carolyn, I need to let her inspire me again, I've kind of gotten away from poetry as songs come more easily, but I'll give it a try. Glad you came by with your nice comment!

Wow thanks Chris, I guess I should try poetry more often, it's just songs come to me more easily, but I'll give it a try, glad you liked this one so much!

Yes sir, I do like it ~ a lot. Now take the plunge and write something new. You don't need to wait for that gypsy muse. Show her she's not needed.

Wow thanks Vijay I guess poetry is more popular than lyrics, Lin was right it seems, glad you enjoyed it!
