Diamonds

They go beyond skin

deep into the ever black recesses

As they dive 

Into that mine

The darkness lit 

by the intimate lamps of their smiles

The cut of those smiles

formed by soft mouths

The clarity of the love shining from their eyes

The carat

that weight, just right

matching the shape of his muscles

The throaty sound he makes in anticipation

of finding the motherlode

The sparkle and shimmer 

illuminated beads of sweat

on their skin

Like diamonds

Sought after and found.
