PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Emeralds do not outshine diamond

sparked dew. Speckled light smeared

in reflective rain at night shakes awake

the imagined connotations of light 

like neon seen through a water opaqued

windshield. The surface of pooled rain 

gives off far more brilliance.

I watch mythical eyelashes

close and slowly open

as if they covered semi-precious

stones pressured into existence.

More than the chipped off

and sanded smooth. Clearly

more.

.

Rock-cut potential for illumination,

a marble face and a marble laurel

that long ago owned a model

that saw with sparkling eyes

the world of ancient stone 

cutters.
