“aster”

by acid

and he called me aster, the flower of summer.

he named his love for me— aster

a flower that blooms in indigo and breathes serenity from a dainty, a star from the wails of Astraea— whose fallen tears blossom on Earth’s gentle feet.

“aster—“

oh how the lover girl in me giggles and skips around in our little garden, as fallen purple petals dancing in the atmosphere. her cheeks shy away in pink, as his beating heart rhythms to her heartbeat— she laughs, the happiest she feels when time passes slower with him.

a star that glows, a flower bathed in indigo

my celestial lover,

oh how my petals delicately fall for you—

one, after another.
