Premium Member Bloodstone Truth
If truth had a color,
when twilight bleeds 
burgundy rivers,
you’ll find these garnet 
eyes pleading
to be heard through 
poetic sunsets. 
For I’ve been swirling

  my darkness and I, 
sakura springs sang

with its needle still threaded,...

my legs crossed
holding my breath
The fabric of her mind

tucked in carefully at her edges

I reached for...
