“Whatsoever that be within us that feels, thinks, desires, and animates, is something celestial, divine, and, consequently, imperishable.” Quote by Aristotle

The aurora borealis glowed above us,  
Beckoning us to the stars,  
where meteoroids and asteroids challenge,  
microgravity becomes our new reality.  
stardust speckles our skin,  
creating an ethereal glow.  
I’m lost in your soul's windows,  
diving into your solar plexus,  
drowning in the Milky Way's whirlpool.  
Our bodies sweat, cosmic confetti bursts,  
celestial hallucinations haunt my mind,
my engine is ready to combust,  
asteroid ashes and space dust swirl.  
As our lifetime dissipates,  
I stitch my lifelines to your skin,  
in shimmering ink,
we await the encore of rebirth,  
new bodies formed from cracked constellations,  
descending from heaven's opalescent gate.

Sis, this is absolutely magical and mesmerising and so heartfelt! I love how descriptive your imagery is in this imagism! And youv chosen an excellent quote too for this! I especially love the line “ I stitch my lifelines to your skin, in shimmering ink,” that hits me so deep! “ Our bodies sweat, cosmic confetti bursts, celestial hallucinations haunt my mind,” wow! Thats just stunning! Left me breathless! So cosmically pleasing! So good to see you writing for contests! Best wishes! A fave
