BLOOM

human

you looked like an angel with ribbons of sunbeams dripping dulcet ambrosia from your golden hair. i remember laughing, thinking oh how the sun must envy you! with the way your saccharine ribbons would undress against the flirting wind, and how the morning star almost pickpocketed it.

do you remember how i caught your ribbon? oh how they trickled between my two fingers so sinful and sticky! with the scent of sun drenched raspberry and pure vanilla bean pods. do you remember? when i caught a honeyed droplet with my tongue before it wept down my wrists and how i

the first time your pomegranate lips pivoted into a sugar coated smile, my heart skittered like throbbing tooth ache. i remember feeling like if i moved, (even) an inch, you would shatter into a million celestial stars. oh how you buried your nightshade lips under fragments of nirvana! i would give everything to savour your poison laced mouth. so instead with sated eyes i

watched
and
watched

until the green eyed daystar sank into the horizon with one last seething glare at the ethereal beauty with ribbons of sunlight at her feet.

fell
deep
deep
deeply
in
love.

oh! how you looked more heavenly than any angel, empyrean or aphrodite herself!

if i could, i would brand the impression of you against my burning eyes so that every time i blink, i can relive this night

over
and
over
and
over
again

because

you
looked
