Diamonds

Paul Bell

He watches her

Smoke rising, playing against her aura

Diamonds in her eyes

Sparkling like the morning sunset

Transcendent goddess 

Temple like the minions who befall her

He watches transfixed

The stillness of the day

Dressing her ghost like

Dancers parade

Praying to be the chosen

Diamonds glitter

Charade passes with no promise

Decadent smile betrays her only emotion

The curtain closes

Lesser mortals fated

Sure as day turns to night

Diamonds in her eyes

Deathly kiss, as wolves howl in the night

Clouds free, as the moon searches

Transcending light finds shadow awaiting

Diamonds sparkle

Wolves frenzied as audience is given

Diamonds shine bright

Souls searching for the afterlife

Betrayed by her aura

Coals burn brightly

And the wolves are sated

Dark clouds in the distance

Diminish the burning light

The morning asks why

He watches, transfixed

Diamonds in her eyes.

    At first read I missed the point and wrote a whole message but then after it dawned on me. The relationship of the sparkle of diamonds in the wolf's eyes represents the desire as it looks upon its prey. I'm just a little slow today. The relationship grows in magnitude as diamonds are often coveted as well so the relationship becomes even more complex. Nicely worded this poem speaks of lust and coveting. Well done

      A girl's best friend, diamonds and sacrifices.

        That's what they say

        This is seduction as ceremony...diamonds not just as adornment, but as souls burning under pressure. You turn glamour into revelation, Paul. Stunning work. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
