a stone's throw away

a stone's throw away

 

 

 

diverted diamond

misdirection of feelings

a finger left unadorned

 

Love in white gold

lies in the ashtray

like a used up smoke

 

passion burned 

with intense intent

until it didn't

 

a diamond diversion

caused her distraction

forged love

stones cut in beautiful blaze

 

sever the amorous throat 

in 'twain

with blade so sharp

this diamond's sheath

is the crimson red

of her heart.

Diamonds are forever, but obviously this love did not last; maybe it was not meant to be. Marginal, physical instead of deeply spiritual is not the way of permanency.
Sad, beautiful and brimming with losss.

I guess it depends how love is cut, eh Sami?
IT often sparkles for just a short time.
Thank you,
