she carried herself
with a staunchly demure air
at odds with her natural
pulchritudinous flair
an earthbound goddess
with long locks of goldspun hair
monumental perfection
in her simmering brown stare

a storm of falling stars
left the night sky
in a heaving state
of discombobulation
unbalanced by emptiness
marred with fading flashes
while she played connect the dots
with my every imperfection
tracing a new facade over
a familiarity of old wounds
