All the dust on my brow
turns slowly to stars
dazzling in streams of blurred glitter.
He grows here loving and kind
I am resting happily in my arms,
doting over all my pretty charms.

Boys of the sunshine kiss sweet lips
of their own kind.  Bizarre fruit
I taste here from a bosom
to my brow. We clear our minds
to gaze at the stars dancing
in twilight. Another dawn closes in
as we push along with the mountains of bodies.

Love in a fashion love in a vanity,
injected with the fiery arrows of eyes.
Burn a hole in my chest
under companion's breast I curl up happy on my knees.
I wouldn’t pray for I need nothing.
As the stars turn to glitter we are complete.

"monuments put from pen to paper turns me into a gutless wonder" Manic street preachers

Brian,
Sorry we let this one slip. This has the potential to be a really strong poem but I think it needs to clearly define the images presented. One of the problems with this type of fabulism is that you have to be clear, absolutely clear. I don't think this one quite gets there -- maybe the pronound usage is confusing me.

I also think some punctuation might help.

Just a suggestion,
Brad

Yor visuals are beautiful and creativity runs rampant. New spin on celestial themes, good flow.
