My aquamarine ring appears clear like glass or as if I’m swimming under water, then sky blue, then dusty and grey. On another day its sheen is like an emerald slightly turquoise like my veins, then silvery like an ice cube.

It makes me think of you, set in an almost too elegant royal style, as if I were a little girl parading as a princess– as if I never knew you. As if I never knew you..

I feel your hand cover mine and I’m finally found, rightly crowned at your side. I smell the blood in the air; I kiss your hands and let my head rest on your breast. Would they kill an innocent virgin? Let the rain come; I love you forever..
