Short Carats Poems

Two carats heart shaped diamond ring
Inside of red velvet gift box
Discreetly hidden between
Red wine roses bouquet 
Waiting for the hour
Fiance asks
Fiancee 
To tie
Knot

Curtain falls and curtain folds
Thus, it means all aching voids
(May they be carats of golds),
Be in mind buried unsold.

Happy new year everyone!
Hope that things are all well done.
Set aside your woebegone,
And start your new year a happy one.

Forgive and forget
And then celebrate;
And a sound mind, indeed
Is all you ever need!...

The sea drowned the sun
and light-year lights
coruscate the darkness
with tiny countless carats
of weighted worlds.
Unreachable masses
esteemed by poets
and starry-eyed lovers
whose naivete nurtures
inspiration and romance.
And like the rarest of gems
Appears a great masterpiece
of literature or another
notable love affair....

Wedding Ring
Why did you take my wedding ring?  Did taking it give you a zing? Did hurting me give you a 
double ring in your b b thing? Did the carats make your heart sing? 

Did you think your new lady would like my ring?  Wouldn’t it sting her to know whose thing 
that was first darling?  

That hurt more than anything.  Why did you take my ring?...

the emerald of our love seemed so pure
you were the Cullinan of my heart
yet, even graphite has no cure
for curing was no start
our love splintering
on your  part
crumbling

 broken!

 it’s gone
 it was sold
 you were the one
 so fragile, yet so cold
 my diamond turned to graphite
 there was no place in your mould
 I found a black diamond… reflected no light

-the Cullinan Diamond was the world's biggest diamond discovered at the time 3100 carats-...

If you give a little weasel,
a nice new painting easel
and a jerry can of diesel,
and you tell him he will freeze -
will he retire to paint a fire
or burn the easel with the diesel
and bake a nice brie cheese?

If a ferret and parrot
have imbibed a bit of claret,
and you give the first a carrot,
and the second diamond carats,
would they see things as disparate,
finding merit in the carrot,
or would the parrot try to wear it,
unaware of its great peril,
and turn the ferret feral?...
