i want you to notice my eyes and bring stolen sapphires to my hands © 2021 calvin
and I will slip blood diamonds into
your pockets. I know the shaft to
your heart is as deep as Hades, but
what if your gaze could also be mine?

You then layer pearls across my neck from oysters your crushed with your feet, kissing my cheeks with cut lips and taking in my blood. Your rings bury themselves on my back, and I am marked for dead– the gods will not forgive me for letting myself shower in your golden indulgences.
@versesforthedew @somebodyssongbird @roman–empyre @bk-poetry Let’s see what you can do with this!
your breath carves secret pathways
in the volcanic body
of a pumice stone,
and I float on onyx waves
that once married Pompeii to the sea-
an eruption
would have been less savage.
@blackmoonmusings @eveesque this might be fun :)
