Sea Of Diamonds (Salt Lake Speaks ver.)   Leave a comment

I woke to a sea of diamonds
On a dark velvet veil
Their beauty was a sight to behold

Because each glistening diamond
Is a story of passion
A tale just begging to be told

I woke to a sea of diamonds 
On a dark velvet veil
Their brilliance was unabating 

Because each glistening diamond
Is a beckoning siren
And each song truly captivating 

I woke to a sea of diamonds
On a dark velvet veil
Each shimmer, a memory I'll keep

Because each glistening diamond
Is a warm woolen blanket
As I finally drift back to sleep

P.S: Salt Lake Speaks was a poetry event I participated in in September 2025. I am posting the poems I read as I may have made minor changes and corrections to the original poem. Original here.

Yawning (National Poetry Writing Month 2025 #25)   Leave a comment

Yawning, my eyes drift closed 
As I greet the night.
Do nightmares await me?
Or sweet pleasant dreams?
Or will there be nothing 
Until I wake up?
No point in wondering;
I'll know tomorrow.

Sea of Diamonds (National Poetry Writing Month 2023 #2)   Leave a comment

I woke to a sea of diamonds 
On a dark velvet veil 
Their beauty was a sight to behold 

Because each glistening diamond 
Is a story of passion 
A story just begging to be told 

I woke to a sea of diamonds 
On a dark velvet veil 
Their brilliance was unabating 

Because each glistening diamond 
Is a beckoning siren 
Each song is truly captivating 

I woke to a sea of diamonds 
On a dark velvet veil 
Each shimmer, a memory I'll keep 

Because each glistening diamond 
Is a warm woolen blanket 
As I finally drift back to sleep
