another bloody metaphor

the clothes are by Makin Jan Ma. He tends to write characters first and then dresses them in his lovely designs. Speaking of desire....I want one of those capes.

here's the writ:

try not to get
so hung up on desire
nothing
wrong with wanting
a heart pulling is no enemy

only love's will to draw you in
only loves will send you out again

we live from this story
watch you change from gory to glory

glorious blood
gathers and goes

my thoughts float on a crimson wave
I shout from deck,
“I want to be saved”
my raft is small and surrounded by sea
I spy you on yours
you call to me,
“meet me in the blood”

in the blood
in the blood
where our love will be
no more screaming from deck
no more sailing around
I will not have you on this flimsy raft
so meet me in the blood

God has been the siren all along
singing you to shipwreck
but you fear the song

we bolster our sails
all float on


really you are burning bright
forgive
your eyes
don't see red light
