Child of the stars
Her freckles thrown across her tan skin depict constellations
Telling thousand year old stories of gods and goddesses
The ones that once ruled the earth
Their strength passed down through rays of moonlight shining through the partially closed blinds
It’s as if her body is a mirrored image of the abyss above,
The dark dots a spitting image to the twinkling globes
And when she talked of her passions, her face would light up as if she were a firefly
Bright and full of joy
And her presence was as warm as a July bonfire
Surrounding you in all things light and comforting
Her brilliant mind as complex and confusing as an eclipse
Only showcasing the bright outside of herself and shielding the dark depths—at least for now
Your aura spoke to that part of her
You came to the conclusion that her love language is old myths of strong goddesses
And shiny things that resemble the night sky when no clouds are near
She wanted nothing more then warm embraces under a clear night sky and for you to accompany her while she stares into the abyss
A beautiful revelation:
Finding someone who understands the deepest parts of our internal solar system
The twinkling globes shine despite the darkest,
A fascinating understanding of how hope always seems to shine through,
They’re a lightyear and a half away,
and yet, they still present themselves to her
They mirror the turmoil present in her personal milky way
A beautiful tragedy of chaos that shines for all to see
Her fascination started with the freckled constellation on her arm,
The one that is a replica of her zodiac sign,
And it ends with the endless abyss that encapsulates
Everything and nothing at the same time

WOW! I wish I could say that I understand this, but my technical mind limits my comprehension of beauty like this. It does allow me to recognize an outstanding talent and the beauty of what you are expressing.
