Listening to every heart

Heart of Crystal

Such is it as she has
transparency, most brilliant form
likened to diamonds’ norm
with exception, see the
simplest rejection
of heart break, so forlorn

as
in her
inner chi
shines this
shimmer
of light
sigh

There is not a crystal ball
that holds the inner truths so well
something once seen, heard like a bell
something of life she would tell
could she break past the crystal wall
could you but hear the call

as
in her
inner chi
shines this
shimmer
of light
sigh

Were you to study crystallography
or even her given autography
and dispel any and all mystery
would you therein find serenity
or just her lovesome memory
in her heart of crystal beauty

as
in her
inner chi
shines this
shimmer
of light
sigh

As grown from pure crystallite
her charms for you would crystallize
a vision of beauty before your eyes
and you would wear her light
and catch the rainbow of her bright
and then you would hear her sigh

but
in her
inner chi
shines this
shimmer
of light
sigh

I loved this poem. It is very descriptive, the rhyme scheme (My poetry vocabulary is off today. I want to say consonance but I know it's wrong) and all the mentions and comparisons to crystal were great. Keep writing.

Crystal is another favorite of mine,  always
conveying the thought of pure,  most
beautiful,  delicate...so very fascinating
when the sun radiates through it...onto a
wall or into the eye...

A beautiful self portrait of a woman most
deserving of this...

God Karilea:

this nearly made me cry it is so beautiful
so utterly perfect . . .
I - it reminded me of something so
so very fragile . . .

as
in her
inner chi
shines this
shimmer
of light
sigh

This this part - perfection
