Adam Levon Brown redux

Universe in Flames

Birthed from struggle;

I will remain shining until I explode

Supernovas gyrate around me 
as comets who come too close  

perish in my heated gaze 
Infinitesimal meteorites 
orbit around my magma exterior 

catching on each other and breaking 
apart the words that spill from my bleeding core 

radiant and reviled in the day and 
waiting with rabid anticipation in the night 

until the next opportunity arises 
to spread my wings upon the page
