Become an Emerald Author
We just released our new monetization features with the soft launch of our paid subscription Portal, The Emerald Lounge. So, authors in the lounge can have paid subscribers for their content, be it poems, stories, or books, you know, the works you've been holding back until it's ready to shine like it should. Become an Emerald author by submitting your best work, or work you like. If you think you can out-drink, or even hang until closing time with Hemingway or Hank, we want to meet you. Accepted authors will receive a code for "Become an Emerald Author," which you will find in your settings. Go get it.

Paint me

I paint our love in the form of landscapes.

The burning orange of the sun, fiery like the passion in this love I call ours.

Cloudy days, the moments in time where together we lay.

And in the rain are the times I’ve fought for our love to piece by piece stay.

Paint our love the color blue.

Sketch the starry night with your pencil.

Dance stars over the perfect days spent together.

Let the stars in the Milky Way describe the billions of ways you say you love me.

Shoot the stars across the sky for the words we say but do not mean.

Be my constant lover like the moon.

Love me forever.

Kiss me in phases.

Color me the color blue.

And spin me in a hurricane of your pain.

I’ll bring the storms in to wash it away.

Paint our love the color of the sunsets.

Draw the night sky over our body.

Cover our bodies with the canvass, of your desire.

Sculpt my heart with your hands.

Mold me into everything you desire.

Wrap me in blue.

Until the universe recognizes no difference, between you and me and it’s constellations.

Sketch floral outlines over me

And kiss me in the green grasses you create

Paint your love in every form between heaven and earth.
