I Stars

I am the loving sun that warms you if you step outside into my arms.

I ache to illuminate your face, your body, your soul.

I am that callow moon who is a pale reminder biting deeper in cold night’s abyss.

I want to cast your dark shadow and grasp for you in the night.

I am the exotic, feeling flower of intoxicating dreams and nightmares.

I want to caress your tears with my petals and cling to your breast as you sleep.

I will captivate each sense and prick your fingers.

I want to set the stars on your skin.
