Diamond Eyes

A trait of materialism...

Gem of perfection, ice cuts glass

meeting your eyes, mine look away.

Brilliant in determined certainty,

the stars above less of cold.

Future fated, never regrets,

moving forward unseeing.

Eyes of constant diamond,

focus upon temporal space.

Those word! Looked sharp and stringing. Keep going!

Thanks Vin...I appreciate it...

It's interesting, I have to admit that. But I didn't fully understand, that might just be my age or something, or maybe it wasn't meant to be understood. If that's the case, I love the words you chose.

Hi Allie, thanks for your comment. I don't know your age, but the poem is a take on being too interested in money and what it might bring to your life. 'Those with 'Diamond Eyes' only see what I believe is temporary. The permanent things of friendship, love and family aren't seen as very valuable by those with eyes of diamonds...

Ooh, I get it now. I'm fourteen.
