Secret Diamond

by Ken Harnisch

You are my secret diamond;

My gem in the rough;

You gleam forever through

The fog of an unlived life

And promise is alive

When I behold you

 

You are my inspiration;

You bend my head and

Heart to poetry when prose demands

Attention from my scattered days.

You are the reason

 I still believe in Faith

 

You are the light that keeps on shining;

The golden teardrop glow

Flickering in my broken window;

I may be quiet and sane without you

But without you I am lacking

Without you, I am alone

Touching and beautiful.. theres a longing and sadness in the ending lines which reflects perfectly in this poem, but the admiration and adoration shine through the most! Excellent work :)

I may be quiet and sane without you But without you I am lacking Without you, I am alone Oh... Ken how beautiful, how human... and touching are these words, that must echo through the hearts and souls of many.
