Diamonds
and tonight again i wonder
why she brought me to light,
trembling and so mistakenly quenched
by the beautiful sight
of the starry night in her eyes.
i fought hard to keep myself
from losing all sense of subtlety
when she could not stop smiling
with the kind of lips that
beg a man to kiss them.
...and just as well I passed
a most precious piece of gold,
forcing the stars in her eyes
to fall hard on the diamond
staring up at me from the ring
another man had placed
on a certain left-hand finger.
