you're a jewel in the rough
you make me dumbfounded
I'm hooked on Phonics
it's a common core do the math
in need of points, trying to score
amazed and in daze since you
walked through the door
your skin is like onyx
your eyes like pearls
your smile light up like diamonds
your tears are made of silver
gold is your heart
you must have been conceived
at Zale's or I W MARKS
somewhere in a volt or on
the countertop, I must appraise you
I know the gods must of praised you
for all it's worth, I hope you
don't wind up in some old
dusty pawn shop, hocked
by someone who never knew
your value and kept you
locked up and put away in a box
or somewhere in a junk drawer
full of grocery receipts
in a Zip Lock bag, that's sad
that would be a shame
no that would be a crime
your not a worthless quartz
you're much more than a dime
you need to be on shine
so the world can see you
so bright render us blind
a precious stone you are
your bling hangs around
the wrist of stiff necked stars
a gleam in a Kings crown
wrapped around Orion's belt
enough to make a diamond
jealous and melt all the ice cream
on the Milky Way, just trying to say
your sparkle is remarkable
your shine so debonair and divine
I love your flare you should be mines
but life ain't never been fare
you're sudden flair flickers
like a flame dancing on a candles wick
your shape is cut so natural
you are so fine and neatly defined
weigh your heart don't be quick to
sale yourself short, because
in time the greater the shine
