Diamond Dreams

Diamond Dreams

                     

O how you shine,

In this heart of mine.

A well of emotion,

Riding like waves in the ocean.

 

There on the inside of me,

You refuse to leave.

Sparkling like glass,

Diamond Dreams, you have no lack.

 

How do you stay persistent?

Why do you not resent?

How do you go on

When there is no tune for your song?

 

Though crumbled, you remain,

Though stumbled upon, you stay.

Don’t you tire, don’t you lose hope?

Diamond Dreams, why make my heart your home?

 

When once more I listened from deep inside,

Diamond Dreams replied:

 

Like waves in the ocean,

You have my devotion,

And I’ll be here, if only for you to find.

I am Diamond Dreams, who makes you shine.

I think a lot of women (and men too, I guess) have diamond dreams also, although usually it's of the material and shiny rocks, not the loving dreams of which you write. You've expressed the sentiment very well. take care...dan

I like the the parallel between the mention of ocean in the beginning and end of the poem. It connects everything together, like a circle. I also like the rhyme scheme. It allows the reader to glide over each word and each stanza with ease and enjoyment, and the flow and rhythm is spectacular. I also like the capitalization of 'Diamond Dreams,' as it gives the phrase an emphasis of importance. I think you did a great job with this poem. Your writing style is very 'clean' and smooth. I like it!

You have my devotion,
And I’ll be here, if only for you to find.
