a heart is a diamond

a heart is a diamond is a walk in the sun
a woman is a face a race not yet begun
a line is an end a place for quick dreams
a finish is the space you always win in between

a heart is a diamond is a jolt when asleep
a love is a closet cleared clean of things we keep
a finger is for some things but mostly to extend
a direction is a line to your last lost friend

a heart is a diamond and a shark in the water
a tear is your soul drawn, hung and quartered
a pulse is what we think we give to others
a kiss is always burning bent auburn borders

a heart is a diamond and a smile tends to shine
a memory is a mountain minus hands to climb
a whisper can kill everything we ever needed free
a stare is the moment when life is elegy

a heart is a diamond is a pose in the rain
a walk is hands clasped wrapped in weak chains
a past is the glitter blinded by the eye
a woman is the diamond that dances on by

a heart is a diamond is the reason i try
