Where sirens sing in
aquamarine tidal crowns,
hearts of fire drown.

This short haiku was inspired by my longer, free form poem, Aquamarine:
I write a lot about having a conflicted spirit of both blue and red - of equal parts fire and water. If you follow me, you'll see this theme pop up a lot. While I am the most at home in blue, I've always strived and dreamed of being more permanently red. The fire exists within me, and it does shine through at times. Once I am blue, I always strive to be Red again. 💃🏽✨
