Glitter Star

Glitter Star

You transmute
shadows of life
to rays of glitter
glowing hot
bright star
tiger, tiger
dare I try and frame thee

I don’t just want
to make you happy
I NEED to
not of obligation, no
because your melancholy
hurts me like death

When the skies get bored
and the sun grows old
you’ll still be my fairy
my muse
my lil’ glitter star
my everything golden and white
a  soft touch of black

Even with wrinkled skin
and cataracted eyes
my heart will race
with thoughts of you
and for a moment when seeing you
it will stop

When our eyes meet
I feel you
not your body, your soul
I feel the pain that’s touched you,
I will never be pain to you
but scratch, bite, and choke I will
if asked

I ramble
but when left in my head
these words bounce like molecules heated
I need you to hear,
to know
for time and beyond
my heart is yours
an open castle
for my princess.
