Diamonds

A hundred million millennia ‘neath

A trillion tons of force and friction

Just to build your imperfect profusion

To be shaped and shorn by the gem cutter’s sword.

 

You, with your fancy-filled facetted starlight,

You, with your shimmer, your sparkle, your glint,

Maker of dreams with chimerical vision,

Praised for your beauty

And deeply adored.

 

Wrinkle and sprinkle my eyes

With your brilliance.

Wake the desire of this unworthy pawn.

Dazzle the sun with your unspoken luster,

The ultimate case of a true paragon.

 

Leaping the bounds of this world’s vast continuum,

Lost in a distance that no one can see.

Touching the limits we know as eternal,

Never disposed to hyperbole.

Beauty, thy name.

So easy to see.
