A Thousand Diamonds Poem by Jayita Bhattacharjee

Her eyes spoke of a quiet love that her lips never confessed.
A quiet storm of emotions her eyes held like a dark ocean.

Her perfume lingered over verses that ached.
Long after she was gone, the night wept for morning to arise.

A love story in the burning stars, written across the sky.
A thread of pain she hid in her smiles,
Her words were fire, yet tender cries.

Her verses became a poet's dream,
a lover's ache, a dreamer's murmurs.

The gentle heart broke and broke,
A thousand shards of glass all around,
Now they are the scattered diamonds,
an achy heart's cries on the floor.'
