Bruises blossom across milk-white skin
Dark indigo flowers, blooming
Purple petals opening, unfurling
Spotted orchids scattered across a
landscape of snow
Splotches of night-dark paint
The deep shifting colors of twilight blue
When the dusk creeps in
Cloudy wraiths cross the face of the moon
Dripped on by a brush of bone
A thousand shades of a single color
Muted as eyes filled with screams
Lavender deepening to livid plum
Its violet vivid against a wash of cream
Tears coming, never slipping down
Gathering into still and shadowed pools
Silent seas of forest green
And endless pain behind rustling leaves
