Diamond Dust

***

Rose petals of your emotions

Beautiful but sometimes they just hurt.

Colored gems and golden fish of your silly smiles

You smell like butterflies

Dancing in the wind…

Tenderness of thorns

Dangerous like poisoned love

Spilled upon your sleeves…

I jump because I must…

Diamond dust…

***

Your hands are thrown in the air

Picking strawberries of purple rays.

Jasmine fragrance in your hair

Makes me fall asleep

If I cry I will die

So please don’t let me slip…

Gentleness of kiss

Luring like the open veins

Dripping on your knees…

I fly because I must…

Diamond dust…

***

Soft barbwires of embraces

Choking swiftly just to help me breathe.

I will pour the balm of love

On your crying wounds

Clattered lives, clotting blood

In clovers of your eyes…

Dark side of the dream

Dimly fading like the flame

Burning as you scream…

I fall because I must…

Diamond dust…

***

Midnight skies of ocean waters

Winking back at me with broken glass.

Bits of skin left on the mirrors of your glossy lips

Tears like honey

Melting amber

Sinking into deep…

Warm dew of your touch

Only could save me this much

But it was not enough…

I die because I must…

Diamond dust…

***
