Temptress:

An ode to Artemis

By ghostsandrebelsPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

☆ spacegirl

you live in the clouds

speckled pink

like a tulip :

loving the wild of the

night

flecks of blue

in your sight.

spacegirl

you burn thru

the skies : hearts of men

on the ground

at your feet

pile of dust at your sides:

like an animal’s lure

of their prey –

you commit

to the spear

hearts of men

fraught with fear

in the blink of

your green speckled eyes.

spacegirl : the keeper of moons

flecks of blue :

maiden’s child

you burn thru the skies

like a fire:

naked

+ wild

what can the moon bring?

even the deer listen when you sing

spacegirl

a canvas sky: paint the moon paint the stars

breathe in your art.

and spacegirl

sleeps under the moon

with the deer and the birds

gracing the skies

and the night

with beautiful words. ☆
