Captivated By Stardust

"We Are All Stardust - Milky Way" by JonMarc I softly brush stardust from your cheek, and only an enticing smile parts your lips. Your smooth skies, captivating and unspoken, satiate. Like a distant galaxy, you are a mystery, lassoing my soul with cosmic splendor. Near you, I am entranced. A celestial sparkle in your eye catches mine, taking my breath, and I see more brilliance than all the stars shining in the Milky Way. Date – 6/13/20 Contest – Stardust Sponsor – Nette Onclaud
