I'm having problems getting the cover for SC II approved. Hopefully the 3rd time is the charm.  Sharing a poem from the 'Contaminated' section - enjoy.

Blood red

Blood red

The sole chroma

Of her world

Blood red

Blood red

Spurted out from

His thorn-like barbs

Blood red

Blood red

Her anguished life

Assiduous

Blood red

Blood red

Her favorite

Shade of roses

Shadows on the Carpet II - Fallen, Contaminated, Torment

I have finally been hard at work on Shadows on the Carpet II.  The manuscript is put together, formatted and just needs some tweaking.  I had to totally redo Shadows on the Carpet I to fix the missing or incorrect page number issue and that took me some time to do.  However, in doing so, I was able to resolve some of the formatting issues I struggled with and SCII was a lot easier to format.  Sharing the final cover for SCII.

Shadows on the Carpet - Section 5 - Bruised or Contaminated?

Section 5 was originally going to be titled 'Bruised', but after rereading the 9 poems flagged for this section, I'm thinking of changing it to 'Contaminated'.  Sharing 'Indecent Contamination' with you today.  Also sharing a link to my spoken vocal with AcidPlanet artist ozx who added his music and mixed it.

Eyes distract - strike first

Glancing blow then jab

Liquid words ebb, flow

Weave soothing trance web

Lips unleash torrid

Anesthetic of

Hypnotic kisses

Bewitching scent reeks

Inhibits panic

Brush of fingertips

Deposits poison

Desecrates the blood

Invades the heart

Forces creation
