Blood and Scars

By Khushi Gupta

My super power can't be sold

Your voice was a dulcet murmur of my repose

Tranquility shone on your face like pearls in the moonlight

Alluring and mesmerizing

Captivating me , pulling me in. Blood is thicker than water

Then why does it feel the same on my tongue?

I create my future

I make my destiny. I write my fate

In gravels of faith. Desire clots my blood

Scars thicken my veins. I consume the hollow

I consume the ink

Cataclysmic world

Meant for doom

Sea will swallow us all alive

Sparing me and you

For I am the Ocean's daughter

And you're her son

We can't mix

Together , we are beautiful paradoxes.
