Do not be bored
by this unpolished Stone
- this Cosmic Jewel!
For steelblue Hope
or the garish canary yellow
of Tiffany's scope,
follow this formula
of Divine accuracy:
Add to one atom
of either nitrogen or boron
one million atoms of carbon
and the Pure White Crystal
sparkles color fantasy ...
Define herafter Femininity
the Ultimate Fancy
on the axiom fire-ice:
see the glistenings of golden sun
unmeasurable in carat, smiles of fun;
the silver whispers of the moon
not appraisable in sterling's swoon.
So magnificent this Journey
but oh! so lonely ...
Warmth against
the Futuristic Freeze --
far-off Stars within reach:
capturing
the eyes of God
set in claws of Gold
myra
Author notes
Coloured diamonds (fancies): the Hope Diamond (steelblue, 1669, Galconda, India) and the Tiffany Diamond (canary yellow, 1878, Kimberley, South Africa). The formula by the Creator is magnificent. It reminds me of the dualism of True Femininity: fire and ice. She wears her jewels with flair.
I am thrilled being a woman!
