She Shines

She shines
he says to me
like she was dipped in gold
and sprayed in sparkles
blasted with sun rays
blow dried with stars
like God came down
from his perch in the sky
to touch her cheek
and press light into her skin
like she was born
from the dark earth
where the diamonds grow
and the crystals fused to her body
like suddenly all
the bright things of the world
gave up their brilliance
to her
the rest of the globe
plunged into a wealth of darkness
that now emanates from within
so far below the surface
unable to detach
a virus that spreads from the heart
She consumes all
She is all that matters
This is what he tells me
in his own roundabout way
and I feel it
in my chest
the thumping that starts to blacken
a disease that rots
until I am just a shell
that smiles as he says
She shines.
