A bitter gem
Ravenous in its delights
Has conquered all the northern lights
Consumes a glimmer with its surface
glitter in the depths and gone
the stars shine now un-shrouded
shivering in cold night
when they are dissapeared,
all light crawled across this surface
and eaten up and gone
like shells on a beach we will find
that things coveted, high priced as such
can't possibly give back
what in their fractured faces they collect
too much is drained into the depths
through ephemeral umbilicals.
a soul could find itself consumed
if it had reflection
alas, all is safe until that day
