Best Diamond In The Rough Poems
A "hopeless" Diamond (In the Rough)French trader Tavernier in a greed-inspired way
Glared at an idol of a temple in Mandalay
Prying a gem from its eye socket, a curse prevailed
Tavernier died bankrupt soon after making the sale
Louis XIV bought the stone, 1668
A gift to his mistress, Louis had it cut heart-shape
For...

A Diamond In the RoughThe flower still stood in the midst of the storm;
its petals still fresh and divinely clasped together.
The winds and rains couldn't stop buds to blossom,
though being in a hostile weather.
It was a plant brought down from the heavens by divinity,
to proof the existence of manifestation...

A Diamond In the RoughA DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH
The silky pearly-white soft skin, beneath her comb's dark beams
and her intriguing olive eyes' attentive, thoughtful gaze,
behind the night's befalling veil, with elegance supreme,
like mystic crypts enchant the men and cause infernal blaze.
Involuntarily transmits her messages across
a forest nymph expands her...

Diamond In the RoughThe Diamond in the rough has been lost in the masses of panicked flesh
He looks through the eyes of the unnoticed,
He thinks with the questioning of his being,
He only looks to escape the day
The Diamond in the rough only leaves in the night
bereft of joy...

A Diamond In the RoughOn my way home from work everyday,
I always see the one from whom everyone keeps at bay
She is a young woman,
Not more than thirty and ten
She would sit on the sidewalk
And, to more than a many folks, would have a talk
She would flirt,
Not caring if...

Diamond In the RoughDiamond in the rough
Skyline, makes me hot like a fevered owl,
As light languishes in my murky puddle
Like a furious flea made of phosphorous
And indecision. My indecision.
Like sad gray lenses over my pupils; my heart's pulse,
From which sacred energy rains down on us
Like the quarreling feathers...

A Diamond In the RoughThe diamond in the rough
My Sweet little bathroom singer,
Every song on tip of his finger,
Sang to melody each lyric, howsoever tough,
Shine of A diamond in the rough !
Overlooked studies, paper and pen,
Singing his passion, sang every now and then,
To the parents' much annoyance,
But Never did...

A Diamond In the RoughKobey is a Diamond, who despite his verbal trials
Got taken to a courthouse, for he baulked at dingos wiles
He lost his rag, he'd grabbed his phone; he swore he'd
Had enough, he rolloked the state premier; said life was
Tough enough, he e-ffed at him and made...

Although he...

A Diamond In the RoughA diamond is born when the rock is unearthed
A child is born when a mother gives birth
Unclear and jagged, it is what already is.
Handle delicately and finely crafted with ease.
Begins to take shape, not transformed on its own
But at the hands of someone who...

Diamond In the RoughI am breaking down inside
These walls are falling down,
The ropes are becoming untied
How can I explain what is going on
When I am mute and lonely
How to explain this black swan
Life is changing before my eyes
I am the middle, yet the oldest
And I deal with these...

My Immovable Diamond In the Roughby myself, i feel as if i am one with the world
you make a face because it confuses you
you tell me to always surround myself with people
i tell you that reciprocity is lacking in that department
you come closer, take my hands, and express assurance from...

A Diamond In the RoughNo need to brag when you're writing great stuff
It's obvious to all, you're a cut above the scruffs
The ones who pretend
To be poets, they offend
But I still remain humble as diamond in the rough...

Diamond In the RoughDiamond in the rough, diamond's beauty framed
Upon hand of the lady loved by man
Lady who wears honor graces her domain
Lady possessed, owned: his games began
Diamond in the rough cuts to the core
Breaking down polished diamond whose surface
Begins to crack becoming his captor
Fed lies, half-truths, manipulated...
