| Garnet by Dragon Of Lust on Deviant Art |
When you are ready for me,
wear garnet
Red
is not enough
Rubies are cloying,
cherry Koolaid red,
jellybean red
That kind of red
is for the timid
Call me with garnets,
with blood,
deep, warm things
not so sweet
Drape a string of seeds
around your neck
I will take you to dark places
where the moon fears to shine
I will bring you September;
you will wear its leaves upon your fingers
When you want me,
cloak yourself in autumn's satin
Whisper my name to the reddened, black sky
You will taste wine upon the breeze, and
Your heart will glow like a gemstone.
