sparkling in the deep blue sea
— a carat to the ocean....

Hope Diamond is worth two hundred millions.
Donated to Smithsonian by one worth billions.
This forty-five carat gem was sent to them by regular mail.
They were lucky the 1958 postal service did not fail....

I would never measure up... to heaven. 
A couple of grams shy...I'd guess.
The weight of sin against good deed
I've already worked the math.
My carat is hellishly bent.
My soul weighs less than a mustard seed
A lifetime minted{selfishness}....

Thy beauty is not like that of men 
that fades as it ages, yours.. glitters with time ,
As it’s embedded  in ancestral wood—
Precious and celestial ;of old tradition and race;
How worthy are thou?, more than carat gold…
That many seek to possess and fight to protest .

She was the only love he'd ever known

   For the cheap wedding ring he would atone

      She pined for a bigger "ice"

         A five carat stone would be nice

            The jerk bought her a one ton graveyard stone

Not cut or polished
nor facet shaped
neither carat weighed
but a Diamond, none the less.

Jagged rough
hardened tough,
Laying in wait
on gravel ground.

For the Sun's
touching feel,
To arrive at just the right time
from any which, point of view.

With patience, enduring 
to display it's glistening shine
in radiating, far afield
to the attracting eye....

GREY HAIR
It use to
be
the masses
last resort
when the grey hair
was wholesome wisdom
and law
no respecter
of being
but no more

                   A strand
                   of grey hair
                   now gold carat
                   so justice
                   is thrown
                   into the
                   embrace of mint...

Graffiti tags thrown on a diamond,
meant to resemble acid washed jean;
Perfect patches for a tattered queen;

Everyone knows she’s an urban queen 
with that stony voice she tastes diamond; 
This lady could model a rock jean;

A slow walk wearing everyday jean,
no one knows she’s their good girl queen;
Worshipped like a ten carat diamond;

Hidden street diamond a blue jean queen....

They are most precious gems you can possess
They cannot be brought in any jewellers shop
They are more valuable than platinum
They are more rare than flawless D grade diamonds
They shine in your life like 18 carat gold
They are unique
They are special
They are priceless
They are …
True friends

Hop-hop the trail
little bunny,shake your tail
to be noticed is the action
as you get,without fail

Hop-hop with some flowers
maybe candied desserts
you might get so lucky
be treated as a first

Hop-hop with a gift
maybe a precious stone
should open up those eyes
you'll never be alone

Silly,silly rabbit
chasin' the wrong carat
protector of this diamond
will be your ferret........

Pink diamonds are costly
Thirty thousand to one hundred thousand dollars per carat
Five times the price of a white diamond
Maybe this is why we discourage pink wedding gowns

Most of the pink diamonds come from the Argle Mine in Australia
They are rare even in this mine,
Less than one percent of the diamonds there are pink.

Diamonds can also be orange, red, and purple
Red diamonds are so rare that only thirty of them exist in the world....

Not sure when I first realized 
Prince Charming was not coming.  
Probably when I was working in the grocery store.

I guess I was slow to give up my dream 
Of the handsome Prince Charming discovering me
And whisking me away to his castle

Gone was the emerald encrusted eighteen carat gold crown
But luckily, I would not have to leave Snow White or Cinderella
Behind and die young so a stepmother could come along
So that was good.  Right?...

A state of renewal
Cruel
Ready to duel
In a world obsessed with fuel
Don't want no gruel
Just a 100-carat jewel
And a house with a pool

A select few continuing to rule
Don't care where you went to school
Not sitting on a stool
Working like a mule
Occasionally losing my cool
Toward any fool
Using my hands or a tool

Knowing they'd probably do
The same thing to me or you
Regardless of if it holds completly true
And was out of the blue...

Be strong, breed of mum! 
For with them you won't find a bliss.
They will make sure you lack and miss.
They will even be counting 
the sips of water you drink. 
They want you to stumble and fall
And only them the sound and strong.
They have got no word of honor
No respect and no hope of being temid.
With them in darkness you will remain 
And come hell or high water
They will sort you out false and wrong.
They may look carat 18 of gold, 
But they are only plated and fake....

Her mind
Reveling like
A sea of glass
As a crystal

Pondering
As deep as a well
With a satire way
About her, with

A touch of
Babylon
Love dwelling with
Irresistible ways

Sassy speech with
Spirited walk
Eyes rich and deep 
Blue as the ocean

As two, two carat
Diamonds sparkling
Lips a deep ruby red
Body UN-describable

As I awake from the passed
She stands in front of me
Aged in years gray hair
Unchanged through my eyes   

(Fiction mine split long ago lol)...
