Celestial goddess 

entry picture

Glory, 
She fell through the ninth cloud and landed on her feet
She fell in love with the sky and lived to tell the tale.
A beautiful naked figure,  dancing around the flame. 
Watch her.

And the flicker has turned into fire, the little spark into a flame. Who knew?
It was all just a game, and she filled the entire universe with her laughter
The gods have been walking beside her, 
The gods have spoken for her.
You see,  her heart swelled but went through the wire, 

Purified,  she became gold when  she crossed the fire

Yes, she kissed death and left him dire 
And the situation is dire, at least for the rest of us,
But she is higher, she rises higher than  any other. 
Praise her.
Sweet glory

“Please understand the thickness of winter was just like silk,” she said
And the rules have changed, they fooled us

While we sat and waited for them to love us,
While we shivered and waited for the bitterness to abate
She had spun the snowflakes into the purest silk. 
She sewed her wedding gown, danced around the flames and glowed. 
Gloated from our fear, she mocked, her moves coaxed.
"Young man, dare to touch the hem?  Unravel the plan? Ignite the desire? Khione knows better"
Watch her!
Oh Glory

The soles of her feet are wet with her blood and golden dust
But she doesn’t mind the sapphires, emeralds, opals and rubies that piece her skin
She learned the secret and found the treasure within,
She walks around announcing her divine right, 
She claimed  eternity  in one night
Pulling the sky, she reached for the stars and picked them like ripe fruit.

Sweet and succulent, young and intelligent 
‘Clever little child’ so they exclaimed 
And they made a crown for her pretty little mind,
Crowned, they clasped the stars around her head. 

We watched her

After all the promises fed

The former is dead. 
Oh, glory.
