Clothed In Stars
A prophet full of imagery
The Pisces in your hand
Damned them like a Cancer does
When the feeling most-
Excels in its misery
The spite within its cusp
Counsels' loneliness until-
It is what defines us
Concealed within the stardust
The diplomat of dreams
Calls the stars out by their names
And lies to bring their eve
Fleeing the dawn, is never wrong
The twilight on your tongue
Fixed the firmament in song,
Like the Devil can.
