CRIMSON TEARS

by Ree

Silver, shining, mirrrored blade

Reflecting white satin and blue thread.

Edge dances, nestled down deep

into the satin seam.

Warmth of scarlet silk streams down

the fresh white alabaster wrist,

tangled between long tapered fingers;

dripping upon linen pillowcase

like crimson tears.

Pain is pleasure in this bed,

throbbing wound eased only

by halted breathing and clenching teeth.

This new lover

wounds more cleanly.

Eyes close with satisfaction

as crimson tears

pool around the face.
