Flowers and Promises by ~Admantina:iconAdmantina:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Romantic > Other Romance > Open


He kisses her until crimson roses bloom on her lips and spill down her alabaster skin
like sinful pomegranates from Persephone's own mouth.
He crushes her against him, holds her tight-tight-tight in his arms
and tattoos black and blue flowers across her back

No one will hurt you while I'm around.

He whispers the promise with scarlet lips and a silver tongue
and stains her ears a poisonous black
Her hair sticks to his lips-tongue-mouth
while his vows engrave themselves upon her heart

No one will hurt you...

He watches her eyelids slip, gracefully, blissfully
With his promises lingering, sparkling, upon each 'lash
And only then does he finish his vow

...but me.

The full name was meant to be:
Of Blue Flowers and Sparkling Vows

Anyways, I'm actually pretty happy with the imagery in this one. There's not much of a point to it, but it was randomly inspired at around 1 am in the morning.

Please leave a comment! :heart:

Thank you! I'm really happy you like it. :dance:
It was supposed to be kind of dark, hopefully the twisted vow got that across.

Oh, and does this, by any chance, imply pervertedness of any sort? XD
