amethyst

“amethyst”⁣⁣

by Jacquelynne Faith⁣⁣

⁣

the girl you put in your pocket⁣⁣-

the villain in your story⁣⁣

blooms while you sleep like morning glory ⁣⁣

serving justice on silver spoons⁣⁣

she’s the metaphors you miss ⁣⁣

embellishments on swords ⁣⁣

she’s amethyst ⁣⁣

compassion never meant warm ⁣⁣

strength never meant cool ⁣⁣

so she’s somewhere between red and blue ⁣⁣

she’s unfamiliar fusion⁣⁣

half bleeding heart, half iron fist ⁣⁣

she’s sharp and soothing, ⁣⁣

amethyst.⁣⁣

she’s galaxies and mountains ⁣⁣

sunsets born inside a storm⁣⁣

everlasting amaranthine in a mortal form ⁣⁣

more magic than a mirror ⁣⁣

she’s the smoke and the mist⁣⁣

like fossils and Figment ⁣⁣

purple, amethyst ⁣⁣

she’s like lavender lightning ⁣⁣

or something like the sea⁣⁣

she’s thundering tranquility ⁣⁣

she is made of lilac light⁣⁣

but she won’t bend for it ⁣⁣

maybe she’s ultraviolet, ⁣⁣

electric amethyst⁣⁣

beyond the spectrum of your tropes ⁣⁣

from ethereal land⁣⁣

and people fear what they don’t understand

she makes ash and pixie dust ⁣⁣

be careful what you wish ⁣⁣

she’s extra and terrestrial ⁣⁣

more than amethyst.⁣⁣

⁣⁣

it’s easy to forget the sun when you see a purple moon⁣⁣

she’s a prism of the hues you miss when you close a book too soon.
