Bones
jagged,
scabbed up skin;
But oh that fire;
Diamond in the rough;
Faded tattoos 
bloody smile 
simply 
shine.

One can be too many,
a hundred not enough

When truth battles fear
—all diamonds in the rough

Tough Enough

Pain, torture is rough
with diamond in the rough
life is not enough
we drill with slough

tough enough we do
curious and patient ado
difficulties becomes my boo
and blood is my goo.

Michelle

Girl you are so fine
Most of the time happy, rarely narky or with a bark
You are definitely a diamond in the rough
And deep down you are iron tough
A spark of light
You shine into my heart

My Baby Boy (Septet)

Rambunctious
Devil in disguise
Yet this boy is so caring
He is also so considerate
He’s a diamond in the rough
My athletic boy
Proud of him

Premium Member Diamond In the Rough

Cut and polished by your past 
formed under intense pressure,
A jewel hidden in the stress
changes dark to luminous; 
Each facet catches the light
you slowly begin to shine;
A diamond in the rough.

Diamond in the rough

A diamond in the rough 
Both feet in depth to help it up
But no matter how much I scrubbed 
I couldn't wash off the mud
Though my teary eyes could see its bright form
It's wrapped in mud so I gave it up

Dynamo , In Life

A diamond in the rough........

precision cut par excellence

balanced , polished , brilliance

.............lustre magnificence.......

and to think , such beauty
all began as a .....lump of coal .

Diamonds In the Rough

I write for the diamonds,
all quartz to be damned

The populace deafened,
and jaded demand

That anything selfish,
their wills to be pawned

My jewels though not many
—sparkle beyond

Premium Member Diamond In The Rough

To find me you must dive in the deep
Eye of beholder or volcanic peak
Am I just a boulder 
Under scrutiny
Mine me with your shoulder 
Rapist break into me
Like liquid lava hot rolling
A seventy five mile deep digging creep

Gods Beautiful Loan

Your a beautiful soul more precious then any gold.

Your a diamond in the rough
And heaven's missing angel 

Its as if the Almighty God has given me his most beautiful  as a loan and so I  claim you as my own..

Faded Diamond

a faded diamond lost in the rough.
 alone with no happiness, no hope, no love. 
destined to spend an eternity invisible and alone.
 lost forever, existing only as a drone.
 a hollow shell of what used to be.
 a faded diamond, a beautiful memory.

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
