Today I Saw a Diamond Cry

Today I saw a diamond cry
For your beauty stole its shine
The flowers all began to sigh
For you make them all benign

The stars no longer reflect the moon
For you have become their light
Even the sun is not immune
For he chases away the night

Your shadow makes the sun rejoice
He follows where ever you go
His love for you has bound his voice
Or he would have told you so

Even the breeze whispers your name
Just to touch your hair
Your shadow tries to share your fame
She follows you everywhere

Today I saw a diamond cry
For your beauty stole its shine
Not a day goes by that I don't ask why
The Good Lord made you mine

Wow Larry, this is a poem like no other. This is the holy grail of all poem. I gave you a 7 but it should have been a 10. Wowa!!! I love your debt of metaphors in this poem describing one's beauty and the love how deep it feels. Unbelievable magic talent. Luv, Gail
