Diamond

You can see my love now.
Like sunshine through a diamond heart.
Love falling from it
Like light through a prism-
Creating rainbows
And sights.
Oh how beautiful!
You can see it now.

Those days seem distant.

When this heart
Seemed like a stone.
A lump of coal,
Dark and grey.
But still,
What fires it could burn!
What warmth it would bring.
How useless it felt when damp.

I guess pressure
And so much feeling,
Turned coal to diamond.
To let some things pass through;
To paint some things
In new light,
In different colours.
And every heart
So unique.

So sunshine will turn rainbows,
Rain will roll off,
The wind will beat
To no avail-
When diamond
Lives in your chest cavity.
