QUEEN OF LIFE, blooming as flora.
SHE WALKS IN SPRING. wilful sacrifice to the wolves, she’ll peel away sheep’s skin and bare her throat instead. YOU, BEAUTIFUL SOLILOQUY !! chaos touches porcelain, tongues of fire wrapped around ankles, and still she stands ——— and still she boils the air she touches. like glimmering, beautiful stars, her warmth is only perceived, and not felt. few are those worthy of such delight. lashes flutter in languid affection ‘pon the approach, unafraid to shatter in the presence of the divine ( ARE YOU NOT MARBLE ?? ARE YOU NOT CELESTIAL ?? ) until she is close enough to run her fingers down a bare arm. both hands wrap around one of elektra’s hands, bringing it up to press it against her own cheek, careful not to snag at her flesh with the edge of her smile. “ i heard word you were in quite the mood today, my love. ”
FEW KNOW THE GLORY OF STARLIGHT. touch the whitehot stars with fingertips, knowing , intimately , the feeling of heaven beneath hands. but she is of the priveleged souls who know. who trail their hands as if through celestial water. the perfume arrives before she does. freshly blossomed roses, hint of belladonna. hands explore the expanse of her arm, find her hands and takes them as her own. presses them to the supple tenderness of her cheeks which are round and flushed with a grin. how you poison me, inflict me with desires. they all see you as bright and shining, my queen, but i see the edge of your executioner’s axe. i see the secrets in you, your blazing rage. you make it beautiful to me.
“ MOOD , ah. THAT IS THE WORD FOR IT. ” she traces her lover’s cheek, draws her fingertips across those painted lips. smears her skin with the berries tint. “ the chancellor has a sharp tongue on him. i merely gave him a warning. learn to control its wagging, or i’d be taking it for safekeeping. ” she still remembers the way his eyes bulged, how he at once became a worm to her. ripe and wriggling beneath the weight of her gaze.
“ do not worry, i haven’t threatened anyone else. ”
“ but: i suppose the day is still young, after all. ”
