Your Afterglow Remains

Your afterglow remains:
inexhaustible energy—
slipping through phosphorescence,
drifting like a lucid dream.
Your stylized subtleties
beyond what we perceive
permeate the galaxy,
too bounteous once seen.
Wavelengths unknown
engulf our waking world,
bursting myriad hidden memories
unforgettable eternally.
Moments tossed ashore:
worlds collapse & reappear—
sunk in silky ichor,
extinguishing all fear.
Bronzed halos of distant stars
cast their silent search—
by day, diffuse like fireflies
concealed in sea-entrusted pearls.
Faint echoes of forgotten realms
reflected in your eyes—
Your afterglow remains:
no horizons could defy.
