Quiet is all I have.
It's all I need to thrive
When the tide draws in
And I wait within
The pit of pearls
That will tumble down
Slipping through the floor.
It's coloured sand that
Is drawn though this
Hourglass.
Unending until the sky
Tears apart
And all that's left is me
Sitting in riches, so hard
That they've killed me.
And I'm not sitting.
My bones just broke that way-
Ivory cutting the flesh
Of yesterday.
Red pools of regret
Collect amongst the
Spheres that you'll collect
in your velvet purse.
My blood will see the light
again.

Dark and beautiful and haunting, I love it! At first I was questioning it because it seemed somewhat--cheesy? for lack of a better word-- but as I read on I fell in love with it, great job!

Pahaha thankss.

I like to write my next piece based on what I hear here so I shall try and stop the cheese for the next.

(Though I do love a bit sometimes. :p )
