Envy of Graceful Destruction
January 16, 2019
She lived in the night
Within a fire burning as bright as the sun
She shone like a star all alone
The lantern had tumbled the lace floor
Enveloped in scarlet and warmth
A quiet afternoon beneath the stars
Gray clouds waltz before the pale
Light of the moon
Turning the blaze into dawn
A vial desire deeply settled in my emerald heart
The monsoon refuses to change the roses to violets
Smoke escape my flooded lungs
Moonlight locked behind a silky curtain
She shone like a star all alone
All constellations faded in the rosette jumper of dawn
She shone like a star all alone
A single candle against twilight

Anything this piece means to the reader is correct. I wrote this piece as a story along the lines of "the grass is always greener on the otherside".
