Rhinestone Me Here I strut of colourless glass against the restlessness of menagerie, wild in a cage of cheap knock-offs waiting for my diamond dreams. The yearn is deep to twist 'round the fingers of filigree to drape across the neck of silken skin of beautiful, flawless, and priceless affection, yet, I am none of these, as I am only an ornamental overdose of artificial glitz slowly fading my lustre for a moment to shine in the sun. How tragic to live by the maker's decree unwilling of inanimate weep, though here I masquerade of pasted collage with my simulated sparkle and hollow facets, a mime of gems and fools, lest they see my pain in their reflection. So it goes that I am worthless worn by dozens of lifeless entities in pretend pose of something more though being less merely placed to decorate that empty space that is I, an imitation of life.

 (big hugggsssssss) Oh Melissa, I've missed you so so much, sweet friend, I'm so sorry to feel the yearning behind your words but know you are not worthless and soon all your dreams will become reality and can never be imitated anymore! (kiss on cheek) My thoughts are with you, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Melissa, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

I don't think anyone with any reason of sanity could call YOU an IMITATION. Very nice to see you back and of course to read your works. Very intriguing perspective you show here and done with a true gem of a write. Enjoyed it much. |

Love the perspective in this Melissa! Great creative material! Love this... "How tragic to live by the maker's decree unwilling of inanimate weep, though here I masquerade of pasted collage with my simulated sparkle and hollow facets, a mime of gems and fools, lest they see my pain in their reflection." Now that's poetry! |

Melissa, Worthless rhinestone, eh? Guess that makes you something else...like a real gem! More, please.If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

You express how I feel very well. I sometimes feel like a precious rhinestone that isn't worth a penny. |

Have you ever seen the jewelery made from butterfly wings?  Have missed your melancholy metaphors poetess Melis...love the imagery and vocab in this as well. heart-hugs to you butterfly poetess How she loves me, I dont understand |

Well this has a unique twist to it. Well said missy, if achingly so, this is a diamond-quality of a write! |
