Ladies are like fine diamonds, each with
a different cut and brilliance all her own.
With avid care my imagination will reach to
Compare them to that glittering stone.

When you enter a jewelry store, look about,
See the wonders to be found.
Sparkling desire and radiant fire spin out
In a web that holds you spellbound.

Color, clarity, cut, so many things to decide
Before you make your choice.
With so many pretty pleasures, I must confide
They speak to me with one voice.

Only one diamond will ever catch your eye,
On that you may depend.
Hold your lover tightly, tell her nightly why,
Your love she does transcend.

This would make any woman swoon! I'm sure I'm not the only one out there! Dream, your words are so beautiful whether they be dark or light...they all come from your heart. Which must mean, love, that you have a truly beautiful soul. ~one voice~

Now you are talking! As the woman of the world I am (hah...like anyone believes that for a second!!), this speaks so totaly to my heart, giving me respect for you like never before. This is such a turn from your "vicious females" side we saw a few days ago, my hope in you renewed once more. See...even the Dark sparkles in Moonlight!Bravo my friend...Bravo!

This is good I hope you keep stretching your talent into different directions. We should all vary our style now and then. One sign of a good poet is that he/she can be diverse! Dont' abandon that which is dear to your heart (darkness), but don't be afraid to spread your wings!

This poem is quite good..........only one thing about it bothers me........(actually 2) the last word in the last line od stanza 2, spellbound, seems to fit oddly. not sure why. also, the thoughts are a bit fractured, the stanzas are not concentrated. However. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, if it is what you were going for. I'm just used to a more even flow. As far as individual stanzas, the flow is superb. Very, very nice. I like it!

I liked this one, I was not gonna read it at first cause I thought maybe you wrote on the dark side which personally does not appeal to me, but that's just me I am only one person. I am glad I decided to open this one and read it, you did a wonderful job in your descriptions.

Thank you, dear ladies, one and all,
for hearing the call
of desire that lead me
to be inspired.
