Diamonds In Her Eyes.

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 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.

Brilliant mesmerizing message with the hypnotic refrain of "diamonds" thru-out! Even tho this sounds lighthearted & romantic, as always with your twisted little mind, I get the feeling there's something a bit dark here . . . (((HUGS))) fondly, Margie

[Paul Bell]

Margie, it's Christmas. This is a sort of hymn. lol

[barleygirl]

That sounds like a defensive lie that might come from the Chump . . . you forget we've gotten very skilled at ferreting out BS, since we get a daily gushing of it lately *wink! wink!*

[Paul Bell]

Ferreting out BS. He only gave his rich buddies a break. The money will trickle down to the poor, eventually. Maybe in a thousand years.

[barleygirl]

I love your special brand of empathy *sigh!*

[Paul Bell]

[jacob erin-cilberto]

great darkness...just how love can tempt us, lure us in and then devour us.

j.

[Paul Bell]

It can certainly devour you.

[Great Aunt Astri]

He watches her at the beginning and is still watching her at the end 'transfixed'. And she? Forever there? Luring the mortals on to their death? Mysterious yes, and 'horror', yes, but not in an unpleasant way.

[Paul Bell]

Only a woman can do that.

[Great Aunt Astri]

I don't know. Men can be very 'magnetic'!
Have a Happy Christmas. :}

[BBP]

Love the serious sides of you Paul. At first I was like, 'wow, this is soft for Paul' , but then it took a dark turn and made me smile! :)

[Paul Bell]

Are we flawed. lol

[BBP]

not in the least lol

[Mrudula Rani]

Conjures -up an image of Kali( Kali Mata) she is a benevolent force, but deadly against evil! What ever inspired this poem? it is great! You paint an atmosphere to suite the glow of diamonds in her eyes forever!

[Paul Bell]

Part of the mysterious horror collection.
And I kept the body count down, I think.

[Mrudula Rani]

Even with or with out body count your writing is captivating!
He watches her transfixed... I can almost imagine a guy with a cigarette, fedora tilted to a side, in long coat... ominous background music...scary isn't it?

[Paul Bell]

Your comment is better than the poem.

[Mrudula Rani]

That is Your influence on a fan!

[Annette Pisano-Higley]

She is Circe, or Cleopatra perhaps, -the title so perfect-“Diamonds in her eyes” beckoning, seducing, enslaving and then throwing to the wolves...mesmerizing poem with entrancing flow, rhythm, opulent imagery and great metaphor. She slayed it!- I mean you did Paul.:) Excellent write!

[Paul Bell]

Think she slayed it too.
