Crimson Ocean

166 16 15
                                    

I have seen the deepest blue colour in your eyes,
You didn't know I even know each and every capillary in your retina.
They call you minacious without the touch of your hand.

I have touched the deepest cell of your heart,
It's floor is ruby-like.
I have swum through the pearls and gems.
They say ocean is blue,
But I have swum through crimson.

They say I have loved a beast who could gobble me as a feast.
But I have seen the beauty in the darkest shade of black,
For me it's red rose shade.

I haven't loved the beast,
I have loved the beauty in the beast.
