Darkly Inclined


Token gem given of heart in love.
A ninth finger-grace.. appraised above
much brighter stones, craved shinier ones.
Mine[d] unbreakable, his forever bond.

Hand's luminescence equating All,
Fate's cherished soulstar ..[destined to fall]..
As bearer and wearer disagree,
on shadow-cast imperfection seen..
Hexed wonder mars authenticity.

[Small fist shakes to imaginary score]..
Cutting into glass 'til teardrops form.
Scratching truism.. leaking life's blood,
once cleanly sucked.. now fending forked tongue.
Shattered raw knuckles.. dripping and torn,
sling fleshy pink jewels.. trust to scorn.

Roughly-rubbed dull.. platinum adorned,  
ding'ed up resentment, carats long worn.
Thrown myriad hurts.. luster hard-tried,
told of worth dwindle, eyes wetly opine..
This diamond shrine has lost its shine.
[preferring onyx.. is that a sign-
unloveable or darkly inclined?]
