"Dealing a Deeper Darker Crimson"
Dealing a deeper darker crimson velvet kiss Lips bleed criminal and cut deep on caged tongues whispering a love missed Vanilla dreams Black pods of slippery evanescence peeled back to reveal salt stinging words devoid of traps which you welcome open and arched between the tumultuous sanguine flippant, shuffling slow decks Dealing a deeper darker Crimson Velvet Kiss Mocking silent deranged voyeurs their prosecution solitary and vexed they sit red-eyed, suddenly ancient, with pursed lips In the Sea of Her, life is kept; you feel through her rolling waves, On your shore, she is met your ego cast aside your worth naked Dealing a deeper darker Crimson Velvet Kiss Lips bleed criminal and cut deep on caged tongues whispering a love missed (LadyLabyrinth/2019)

"From where dreams are woven Bending sound, dredging the ocean, lost in my circle Here am I, flashing no colour Tall in this room overlooking the ocean Here are we, one magical movement from Kether to Malkuth There are you, you drive like a demon from station to station" David Bowie

In the sea of you, words are kept on rolling waves. Without ego there could be no love or art. This is great Leanne! Truly deep and insightful.

Swartz, you really need to be writing more and posting, because, let's face it, your writing is pretty damn fantastic, i.e. cerebrally unique. With regard to ego, I read this a couple of days ago, you might find it interesting .... or not. "Why All Writers are Vain". Link below. xo "hugs !" ;)
