This diamond is 4U

(替七夕钻石赠诗给他女友)

新民

This diamond is 4U.
It embodies 4C just like you.

Cut is the first C.
Crafted by the heavenly hand,
you are shapely and elegant.
Whatever angle I look at you,
O my love,
you stir storms in my soul.

Color is the second C.
Your skins are whiter than winter snow.
In whatever skirts you are cooler than spring breeze.
From head to toes you are hotter than summer sun.
O my love,
your cheeks are turning redder than autumn foliage.

Carat is the third C.
This weighty diamond costs me a fortune.
But you are slim and enthralling.
How I wish my love to you,
O my love,
grows deeper every night and morning.

Clarity is the fourth C.
As speckless as this one diamond
you steal my heart with your purity.
The pupils of my eyes are all on you,
O my love,
You take away my breath with your glee.
