I am solid
yet also transparent.
a goddess born free
from mortal desires,
i drip with godliness and
i am sustained by your adoration.
I am the wind that tastes like stars,
I am the crushed rose petals
That stain your skin like ashes,
I am the voice plaguing your thoughts
Like an ocean without lead.
i am everywhere
and nowhere.
I have tasted your lips
and stole your secrets.
i breathed Life into your lungs
and I ate at the lies that have soiled your soul.
To remain humble in pursuits,
Is to struggle to keep the smile from my face.
An impossible task, I strut as I walk now.
I have found the elixir of life
And I am reluctant to share.
