Blood Illusions

Unfurl your fiery magic,

watch the naked truth

awaken in deep veins,

tears of the bloodstone

running red rivulets

in the creases of hands.

Pink frost moon blushes

crimson in facets of light,

stars sport bloodstone gem

pendants in mahogany sky.

entwined in roots of flowers,

virgin stones stained

with dark wine blood,

spiritual powers of

healing stone plucked

like grapes from

vine of life,

mending hunks of

bleeding flesh.
