I’m drenched in darkness
Far East and far west
but this is when my beauty
is at its absolute best.
Clad in a black gown
I’m adorned with diamonds rare
so many, but intricate
perfectly placed with care.
My robe carries a tail
later to be seen
this is my legacy
and has always been.
As dark as I am
the legacy’s bright and bold
my story can be enchanting
or set you on a cold.
But I am still in blacks
haven’t let go of gems yet
the chariot’s here to take me
my beauty’s to be met.
Dressed in this elegance
as I enter the hall
predictions say my diamonds
are about to make a fall.
Profoundly circumstantial
as my diamonds set to flight
people wish upon them
for I’m a meteor shower night!

You are welcome! I always like to go back through and look at ‘old stuff’ because I know there are treasures often hidden away in time.

That is so true. No? Old stuff always brings out certain emotions which are very difficult to see otherwise. Treasuring it!

There is so much to unpack here and subconscious topics that flower up as seemingly dark words that i cannot fully extract full meaning (I still think meaning is subjectively objective same as beauty is objectively subjective – distorting complexity leading to migraine but hey i do like my contorted continental philosophers). Legacy is legacy but you are obviously making a great effort in terms of self-acceptance, and Others are doing that too, I am really proud! Those that really matter and that are truthful to your darkness and gems will still pick you in that chariot. I think you should take it. Don’t regret. š
