"Destined Minds"

BLOOD UPON THE STONE

red the viscus fluid that
dripped blood upon the stone
hot blood and fiery temper
caused the angst of piercing

seering pain of the royal
noble lineage that called
the princess of blood

first taste of fire that
now poured from thine veins
now deliberately, coldly,
and dispassionately spilled

lifes giving force excreting
the clots from within that
no longer dance, that no
longer sing the song of joy

and there lies the blood
upon the cold heartless stone
stained in deep deep the red
the mark of this way, lifes

once passionate heart so coy
no longer at the mercy of
long standing animosity
for all mercy is spent and

animosity grins with idle
care its evil heart that
worried not about leaving
its blooded mark upon the stone

FOOTNOTE: I think I may have used viscous fluid in another piece some time back...but picking up the words heart and stone this piece came to life or its resting place depending your take on it..lol
