Diamond Heart

  

Crystallized fantasies form

A shiny layer of dreams

Around a trusting heart

Giving it the illusion

It’s as hard as a diamond.

It’s meant to be protection

Yet the glare is leaving

The soul blinded to the truth.

When the sands of time run out

Life continues to go on

Just the past is buried like treasure.

That’s when the heart

Must use those sparkles

To ignite eternity like a comet

Streaking cross the sky.

The soul will just have to

Rely on blind faith

And see life in a new way

Or lose this game of hide and seek

To the grim reaper…

Though the ultimate fantasy is death

When you know the secret to living.

wow i love this one. it was the word 'diamond' in the title that attracted me first, diamonds fascinate me (i know such a girl thing). sparkly, rainbow-colored, beautiful (& sadly too expensive for me to buy, but i do have 2, my old wedding ring & my newer engagement ring that i don't wear but still love to look at them lol). i love how you use 'diamond' for its strength & hardness here & its sparkly effect is blind the soul. those last 2 lines are brilliant: dark, bleak, & brutally honest. a gorgeous write!!

I'm glad we are friends. I don't know where it comes from, but something inside of you is just as pretty as your writing.

I really like the way you write. Its different from my style, which is a good thing. Most of the writing i see is close to my own style and that doesn't leave a lot of room for growth. Thank you for putting this out there. Good visual pictures

Amazing how being in love can make someone feel invulnerable but in truth, this strength is only an illusion, cause when all is said and done, the heart will be broken in seconds.

"The soul will just have to
Rely on blind faith
And see life in a new way"

It takes courage to keep believing.

And the ending is just right!

Thank you for sharing.
