The Cache

They say diamonds never break
And yet her heart,
When it did,
The golden of her hair –
Rustled.
Her ruby lips –
Quivered.
Her deep set pair of obsidian –
Glistened.
And
Brine traced its way.
Across the silver.
Of her skin.
Forming along its way –
A pearl.
Washed ashore.
On the granite.
Of my hands.

      Thank you so much Satyen! Believe me you do not have to write like anybody. Just stick to your writing style and that in itself is praiseworthy!
