Nectar
Posted on October 31, 2017
I feel the waves of my sorrow crashing against my brain, recrafting my mind, melancholy is a beautiful sculptor, using her tides that flow through me like streaking fingers to reshape my mind into a beautiful clay vase, she picks dark flowers from my past, and places them into the vase, she paints the vase […]
