Even when your light is plunged,

Crossed out by another selfish body,

Longing to be seen - to be noticed in brightness again,

I know I will see your light in full once more,

Pleasant, warm, burning light - the hearth of the sky,

Skin tingles and drinks your nectar through lustful pores,

Eyes squint for fear of your gold beauty.

A/N: Well well well, lookie who's back on the platform! I am so sorry for being away - I've been doing some work on myself (getting fit, seeking better employment and all that jazz!) I can assure you all Cosmo the dog is alright and was officially discharged from his surgery a few days ago!

Thank you for your patience and I am looking forward to seeing all the wonderful stories you have produced in my absence!
