Diamonds In Her Eyes.

Diamonds In Her Eyes.

A Poem by Paul Bell

He watches her

Smoke rising, playing against her aura

Diamonds in her eyes

Sparkling like the morning sunset

Transcendent goddess

Temple like the minions who befall her

He watches transfixed

The stillness of day

Dressing her ghost like

Dancers parade

Praying to be the chosen

Diamonds glitter

Charade passes with no promise

Decadent smile betrays her only emotion

The curtain closes

Lesser mortals fated

Sure as day turns to night

Diamonds in her eyes

Deathly kiss, as wolves howl in the night

Clouds free, as the moon searches

Transcending light finds shadow awaiting

Diamonds sparkle

Wolves frenzied as audience is given

Diamonds shine bright

Souls searching for the afterlife

Betrayed by her aura

Coals burn brightly

And the wolves are sated

Dark clouds in the distance

Diminish the burning light

The morning asks why

He watches, transfixed

Diamonds in her eyes.

Brilliant mesmerizing message with the hypnotic refrain of "diamonds" thru-out! Even tho this sounds lighthearted & romantic, as always with your twisted little mind, I get the feeling there's something a bit dark here . . . (((HUGS))) fondly, Margie

It can certainly devour you.
He watches her at the beginning and is still watching her at the end 'transfixed'. And she? Forever there? Luring the mortals on to their death? Mysterious yes, and 'horror', yes, but not in an unpleasant way.

That is Your influence on a fan!
She is Circe, or Cleopatra perhaps, -the title so perfect-“Diamonds in her eyes” beckoning, seducing, enslaving and then throwing to the wolves...mesmerizing poem with entrancing flow, rhythm, opulent imagery and great metaphor. She slayed it!- I mean you did Paul.:) Excellent write!
