Best In The Rough Poems

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...

The 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 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...

The 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...

He Found A Cubic Zirconia In The Rough


he sat at the bar looking over at her tee
in bold letters it read catch and release me
after a few drinks he was game
closing on the brink of her flame
his shrank as she imparted a handling fee

Diamonds in the rough

Let's do us both a favor
and choose to be free
let go all insecurities
and strive for simplicity
eyes wide shut
immune to
doubt and mistrust
our very own window seat
on a passionate bus

Allen Poe

Let's share this window seat
arms entwined
souls speak
take in breathless peace
trust and serenity
admire our blissful...

Diamond 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...

The 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...

On 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...

Kobey 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...

The sun was hot but it was cold
He was old but I was not
I could walk but he could not
Although he was frinedly I was not
He spoke to me but I did not 
I thought he was beneath me but he taught me alot
Although he...

axes chip and spark
daylight drips slow through small holes
diamonds pulled like teeth...

A 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...

I 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...

Pain brings some pleasure 
There is light in the darkness
Pressure makes diamonds...
