Analysis of DIAMONDS
DIAMONDS
by Daniel Mayon 5/23/2024
They lay in wait all around a capacious sphere
Inviting hearts to view and/or peer.
Possibly imagining pure bounty here,
When subsequently a mind masters fear,
As intimacy increases his failing tears,
Be gone the thoughts of many years,
It's only love between the mirrors'.
From above, are you real?
Or are you an imposter that kills?
The lonesome spirit whose dreams you fill,
Impounds a heart to easily thrill.
When I was young the woods were dense,
Hardly roads, highways or a single fence.
Today you've been massively pooled,
As embers breach a sparkling jewel.
Enter peacefully your ancient climb,
While others attack from a different time.
There's no chance to reap the wind,
Because there're many stars that will end.
I see beauty as it appears so still,
What exists? After layers' peel!
