Diamond drop tears

These diamond tear drops
    fall softly;
tears from the holy mines within
flow when i think of your lovingness.  

How you shaped this coal miner's son;
How your warmth, your pressure
molded this coal-heart into
carbon clear.  And the tears,

Etching like diamonds in the cheek;
        they tumble and shine in
the glow of the moonlight.

I pick one up in the corner of my knuckle.  
      A shine within a shine it has,
glistening in joy as it drops to my lap.  

One by one, these diamonds
sing of our love;
    sing of our joy;
        sing of happiness.

Bought in the winter of my soul.  
And still, the diamond, mine
          is only -
is only giving back the beauty
           of your reflection.  

These diamond tear drops
      fall softly
and in their salty trails,
they leave a thousand diamond smile.
