Shining flower, with petals that nourish the sky with its beautiful soft glow.

Shining flower, with a seed that protects the forbidden story I wish to speak

Shining flower, with the leaf that embraces the soft skin that my selfish love has burned,

Shining flower, with the stem that cuts the night in half to purify our desires,

Shining flower, with roots buried beneath the horizon as dust layers cover her elegant injustice.

Oh, shining flower above the sky that produces an intimate prison for my darkest secrets.

Beautiful flower, she who survives to emerge every night I cry; she who rises above my head to smile, bearing dark marks we've prompted. Dark marks on a glorious flower.

My flower in the gloaming sky.
