A Diamond Poem

a poem by Shail Raghuvanshi

Ooh! a diamond! it’s a flaming desire
like water on fire!
a provocation,
an ailment, like love,
making one pine and languish
in the sweet sweat of longing,
the haves and the have nots-
have you seen them drool,
ready to become anybody’s fool
not just the women, even the men,
and why not? isn’t it a magnificient gem?
adorning the human skin
with a shine unbeatable
finely chiseled into a piece of verse!

Care for some dazzling dare?!
Ooh! a diamond!
