I’m garnet: blood-
red —
a cool gem on fire,
burning
for your gilded fist..
Please chain me sober
with your metal claws
and let me quench my
thirst
dangling necklaced —
and rest absolved
between your breast;
being cherry for your lips.
Today Lillian hosts at dVerse and we are supposed to write poetry based on our monthstone. I had always thought that I was amethyst, so being garnet become a pleasant surprise. Join us at 3 PM EST, 9 PM CET when the bar opens.

WOW!!! Now that’s a red hot garnet post! 🙂 And the photo matches in decadence and visceral appeal 🙂 WOW!
I’m going back to bed. That was so good, I’m cancelling the rest of my day.
Your line breaks are awesome … and don’t even get me started on that hella kinkalicious imagery! Wow. Even without the erotic bent, though, the writing is just gorgeous.
But I do love me some cherries, I won’t lie.
One of my kindergarten teachers was named Garnet, so this gives me an added giggle.
I had not even knowledge about garnet as a name… how cool.
Love this sensual, jewelry’s eye view. “Dangling necklaced- and rest absolved”- wow, the combo of sounds and images is very rich.
You hooked me at putting words /between your breasts/. My birthstone can be ruby red as well. Your erotic bent on poetics these days fog up a lot of glasses; smile.
You are definitely on a red hot roll at the moment, Bjorn – ‘a cool gem on fire’ indeed!
I love your garnet, lots of inner fire.
Garnet, now that you mention it, does seem like a cherry, perhaps darker.
I love your ‘cool gem on fire’ and you have captured the deep qualities of the red in the stone so beautifully ;o)
This is so sizzling, my phone is glowing red! ‘Chain me sober with your metal claws’- quite vivid imagery.
Well you are on a hot streak today Bjorn. This is sensational.
This sizzles. Methinks you are enjoying a very healthy libido, Paul!
Whoa Bjorn, I know you’re glad you found garnet, lol
A red garnet birthstone, the color of a heart and your poem is beating with fiery desire.
The blood, you know, is red.
So, red, you are not dead.
But dangling from the head
the gem stone needs a thread.
You write a touch of erotica so well. I love garnets and never quite thought of them this way.
Raw and intense. My money quote: “please chain me sober / with your metal claws.” Excellent!

You really know how to paint a picture and back it up with a picture! Good job!
I love the deep blood red of the garnet! I would like to wear one around my neck to go with my garnet ring.
Love the imagery in this. Very tangible.
I like ” the cool gen of fire”!!
Two contrasting things together and guess we all have such shades within our lives.
I enjoyed this. Subtle and seductive with a bit of salaciousness.
hot red…..beautifully written!!
Like like like!
Interesting visuals in this. Such alluring words cascading from a garnet … an intriguing trajectory.
Love the way you write naughty so skillfully.
