In her eyes sadness there may be, but look closer, for within her heart lies beauty, an ocean of it, primordial and unbound. Roaring and rushing, strong and defiant, adaptive ,but unwavering. In this primordial ocean lies the core of her being, an essence truer than any other, a fire of heat so intense, a shine so lunincent, that not even an ocean of sadness and misery can extinguish it. Because against all odds that is her esssence, a diamond of the sea subjected to pressure and heat, and she did not break. No she took the fire and pressure and she just kept taking it, facing it over and over again hardening and solidifying her molten essence till all that was left was an unextiguishable flame. Her eyes may be an ocean of sadness, but her heart is fire everburning.
Crimson haze, emerald eyes, smile like a lure drawing in the oblivious. The room turns and the weave of the music twists, rising and falling with her movements. And in her eyes as wish to be seen, a hidden resolve. For in her eyes hides the belief in her heart, if they see her legs, see her smile, see her flow and glide to the weave of the music they will never see what hides within her. Her movements might be of grace and her eyes may hold euphoric fire, but underneath is her rotting heart. Cold and bruised, covered and sustained by this endless dance. If they wish to see her dance then they will be ignorant of her bruised heart, her scarred mind, her fleeting flame of hope, drowned in a dark ocean of memory, pushed by the currents of regret.
A heart of glass I do not have
Clear and reflective as it may be
For flame and stone were our home
And years immermorial our crucible endured
This heart refuses to break, crack or shatter
For in it is carried the flame it survived
Apply pressure and pour molten heat
But you shall find no solace in it's state
For its vessel is diamond and its flame everburning
Heart of diamond, Will of flame
