Suffocating Beauty
By Elexer
Glistening perfume-filled blankets
Of silk,
Glide amongst the cosmos-
Imitating the starlight
They wish they were.
Lips kiss the face of the moon,
Hoping for an atom of light
To be absorbed
Within themselves.
The moon breathes.
Intoxicating and violent, velvet fills
It's mouth of mountains.
The stars,
The only specks of light,
To guild oneself,
In the darkness.
Soft petals
Turn to suffocation.
