I stand at the peak of a scintillating gem
Floating starkly in mid-heaven
A thin alternating channel
Laser cut, a central core
Spiraling around its brilliant conical expanse
Allowing light to dance and refract
Spectral splashes sputtering
I bask in the reinvigorating glow
A fountain of energy
Blooming from the track
Expressing energy tenderly
Like the petals of a
Shimmering desert rose
Rising up to caress and dance
Partnering me in the breeze of
A celestial spring
Feminine energy freely flows
From the deepest recesses of the scars
Carved in the pressure-formed shine
A radiant glitter that never dies
The winds of time could not weather
the lines in my carbon chain mind
Taking a soul-hardened drill
To scratch a polished diamond
Prong set and shining
Just don’t break my flow
I hold the weight of my world
You may be surprised to find
I shatter just like you

Francine was running through the halls of her family’s Shadowmirre villa, arms pumping at her sides, sweat pouring from her brow. Dancing shadows closed in from every side. Her father’s voice was incomprehensible and muted, yet echoing through the halls behind her. The magnificent painting of her mother, Emaline, at the end of a never-ending hall.

This was so beautiful and deep. Loved your poem!
Rich in science. A poetic bliss. Atmospheric. I shatter just like you. Amazing. Simply amazing. I am just about as speechless as they come. I love the feeling that you built. You popped it in the end to show us how similar we all are. But also, how someone could just come in and crash the party. Outstanding as always, KB 🤗❤️🖤
