Are you Ready?

by Everlasting   Dec 12, 2016


And a man once said to a woman:

make me your love:
a jewel in your collarbone,
some earrings of gold
in your earlobes, or
precious diamonds
in your fingers

So I may be exposed
Shown to the world,
as you wear
and take care of me
daily.

And the woman replied to the man:

to be diamonds you must first be coal
then undergo
a lot of pressure

to be jewels
you must be ready
to experience
a change of mental and physical state

one that'll prepare you
to be
the kind of jewel
that I
would wear

Are you ready?

    Well done, Luce. Your poems never cease to work on more than one level. For me, they make me comment daft stuff. lol
