A/N: Written for the Sailor Moon Flash Bingo Challenge, 174 – Crimson Rubeus.


Ruby Flame

His life was coloured
by his namesake, but never did he shine
as bright as he did
in his moment of death,
bathed in flame.

It was just a shame it was so fleeting,
so stabbing a moment:
too quick even
for the burst of blood
from his body…

All of it just crumbled away
into ash.
