Diamond in the Dark

Diamond in the Dark

I.

Dearest,
see me not as foolish

Be it betrayal
brings face, of a thousand smiles
yet a million lies.

II.

Dearest,
hear me not as an echo

Be it that water
seemingly silent, may flow
sensually with power.

III.

Dearest,
touch me not with feeble words

Be it that solitude, brings
no promise upon the horizon
of a drowning soul.

IV.

Dearest,
lead me not by fraying strings

Be it that a puppeteer's fool,
dangles hopelessly
by illusions of passion.

_
V

Dearest

Our destiny -
Be it not, a diamond
in the dark ...

    The ending...I LOVE IT!!
    I have terribly missed reading your poetry and you always prove to me you are just as good as always =)
    I love the word "dearest" in poetry, to me it shows no ordinary emotions, it is deep!
    Lovely penned honey =) You can say I'm back here, but only reading/writing/commenting..not in clubs nor forums..

    Miss you <3

    I can truly understand these words, and the emotions behind them, a sad result of being around long enough to know better than to believe in fairy tales..nevertheless..I do believe all of us have one person meant for us, but that person is imperfect, as we all are:)

    Well done, crazy chickie, I never would have guessed this was your work:)

    I love the title..very catchy and poetic..
    I feel llike this poem is so familiar (gd sign ) ..or that you have wrote it in a way that many ppl can relate to it ( even a better sign :P )

    Dearest,
    see me not as foolish
    ^^^I just loovee these lines..love this opening..

    Be it betrayal
    brings face, of a thousand smiles
    yet a million lies.

    ^^deep wording, not lines that we usually see..i would suggest taking off the comma b4 of..i read it without it..and the pace was really better.. or place one after smiles.. stopping there gave me a gd impact as well.

    II.

    Dearest,
    hear me not as an echo
    ^^I looove this one..very inspiring..and i got thoughts for a totally new poem..when I reached it

    Be it that water
    seemingly silent, may flow
    sensually with power.

    ^^very strong Luanne..very strong..
    I have no idea from where you bring these expressions..u have such a creative mind. I love that (me like you) bring up nature , to serve your messages.

    III.

    Dearest,
    touch me not with feeble words
    (again..i love the lines that you are wording over here...u have no idea how much inspiring)

    Be it that solitude, brings
    no promise upon the horizon
    of a drowning soul.
    ^^very touchy, tender, and deep. I sighed as well...the words are so close for the soul..I love your..emotional side

    IV.

    Dearest,
    lead me not by fraying strings

    Be it that a puppeteer's fool,
    dangles hopelessly
    by illusions of passion.
    ^^^i love the word u used..was new for me..and dangles as much as the word passion are some of my favorites to read in a poetry.
    >and u used them in a very creative way.
