All around me

Luminous

Cold shells

Meant to be useless

But carefully displayed

To me

They are everything

My eyes they close

My senses

My ears, they twitch

To every drop of dew at my entrance

Don’t dare.

To come.

Any. Closer

Mine

Greedy little

Prince.

I have no crown

But indeed

My hint

I am rich

Don’t try to

Despise me

This is my lair

Don’t twitch

I can hear your breathing

As you slowly approach and try

To take from my…. Luminous

My eyes

They shoot open

Don’t touch!

Thy luminous

See my teeth, don’t wave that blade in my face

Luminous!

It is luminous, I think as I bare my teeth

Luminous, it is

I can see the luster

I want it

But I know, it belongs to thee

So cherish

Your luminous

Like I do, as you can see

Away with you! My luminous

Let me be free! 

To keep. Safe. 

My Luminous.
