You have always been a galaxy to me, seen as a beautiful mystery from afar,named and catalogued by guesswork but never truly explored before. And when pulled into this orbit, there can't really be any return, any mortal that has...

The air is delectable with your fragrance,a nectar's mist that draws me closer to your tingling curves and planes.This is before we sizzle,when your scent teases,leaves me hungry with intention,with eyes tracing patient flesh,swollen petals that ache to flood. But...
