Best Black Diamond Poems

Black Diamond Night (a coal miner’s cemetery) 

Where the ebony, we call “NIGHT”,
Old black rocks sit under the twilight
Diamond shape eyes unclear and lonely, 
Sinister through hostile spirits only,

I stumble across these stones without a bone
A solitary confinement alone,
From a barren zone the light transcend
Only...

On the border of the obscure wastelands,
In the depths of shadows and torments,
Far beyond the land of Never Was, Never Will
Is a place where I hold you, strong and silent…
As the shards of your sensitive sadness prevail,
Sifting the awaiting coals below,
I shall reflect slivers of...

Black Diamond Child


Black diamond child with hopeless eyes
In your frightful future your talent lies

No worth is greater than watching you grow 
To a world whose wealth you may not know

The street schools you in the ways of hate
And the price of your life’s at dime...

summoned black diamond
sun's at other side of night
with the dream roses

heart of joy twinkling
gone down in sea of colors
star of plum evening

still in its peach prime
and dust of the day settles
crow flies to midnight...

Black Diamond Night

Life is a cruel wench, a beckoning tramp, she is.
 Sprawling wide open to draw us into her erotic nectar.
 She whispers lurid words which promise to forestall
 The imminent erosion, of illusionary perfection.

The promise of a tomorrow? Few have the inherent structure,

deep in the bowels of the earth
this treasure is found,
dug out by the men
who work underground,

they crawl and hack to fill the store
waiting for the call, mind your heads
as a blast is used to loosen more 
this black diamond.

In the mining area in the valleys...

Mornings of  rubies and sapphires are fine
  Afternoons  of Topaz and turquoise  divine
Evenings with Emeralds   shine bright
But nothing compares to a Black Diamond night...

When you promised me a black diamond
My thoughts began to linger 
With dreams of a sparkling gem upon my finger

I put on my pretty frock and awaited your arrival
But when I saw you standing at my door
My smile faded -  my jaw almost hit...

Scarce in love’s bounty
traded opaque for darkness
graphite eases soft whispers
    obscure in the night
      she cries for magnificence
         while his reflection turns black

gemstone adamant
symbolize prosperity
carbon overshadows love

When trials fall, she remains tough
Yes, a diamond in the rough,
Black…but shining outside her cage
For courage is youth’s heritage.

In time seasoned, one polished gem
Reigning  like a glossed diadem,
And strength becomes a lasting grace
Facing doubt with holy embrace.

She knows each conquest quite well paid
When life’s...

Star
Diamond
Shining white
Dots the sky with
Rays of sparkling light.
But when its time is done
Its brilliance wanes to expire
And a black dwarf it will become.
Once awake and bright, gem in the sky
Sleeps dark diamond with Cosmic lullaby.

A lovely lady you are, 
And lovely always be.
Your beauty bright as midnight stars,
And moonlight shining on the sea.

You're all that is fair and kind,
The sweetest dream and reality.
Many times you've crossed my mind; 
My lasting hope is of you and me.

Black diamonds throughout the sky.
Little' boy why do you cry? 
One can stare all night into your eyes.
I would love nothing more than too kiss you goodnight.
Your father will be alright'

The footballer played for Brazil
Black Diamond is how he's known still
His cleverest trick
Was the "bicycle" kick
That let him score goals nearly at will

Night, moonless, is a blanket of
thick threads woven blacker than black -
a tapestry of stars above.
Night, moonless, is a blanket of
diamonds, and the eyes of my love
are glittering too now I’m back!
Night, moonless, is a blanket of
thick threads woven blacker than black.

For the Black Diamond...
