Hold your breath,
now tell me
can you still breathe?
Close your eyes
can you still see?
Diamonds are forever
blood spilt stain eternal
wash your hands
can you still see red stains?
Constant frowns
turn upside down, would it be classified as a smile?
Onslaught of emotional pain
stand in the rain
is your pain washing away?
Diamonds are forever
yet life ceases to exist when it's stolen.
I like the play on words at the end. Even when we steel a diamond, it still exists. A life stolen/ taking someone's life, is clearly very final. Struggling with the link to the rest if the poem. Is it about choices? Living with guilt? Interesting but a little illusive for my small brain! Maybe it is a few scenarios that are not completely linked? X
diamond are forever, so do the pain caused to gain the control of the diamond too... nice write
there are a few instructions here! still a nice poem to enjoy!
This is absolutely great! ! ! if we are real humans, we should see with our hearts too, we should hear with our hearts too. so meaningful and great well done my friend.
Wrote this poem whiles listening to Diamonds are forever by Kanye West. it made me think about the movie blood diamond. for me this is about life, choices and questions along the way.
Not sure I understand this one Kelvin - a few notes might help. It reminds me a little of my own write Can You See - maybe the meaning is similar.
