Constellation Demigod

By lupus tenebrae

A quest to strain a weary sight,
to see the heavens magnified
and new frontiers to colonize
with mysteries declassified,

pulsing like a craven hero,
when confronted with demise
or perhaps encrypted secrets,
never meant for mortal eyes.

A mockery of looking glass,
with a demigod’s discretion;
rightfully superior
in their infinite reflection.

Craven hero, unusual word pairing, and the Mask of Dorian Gray comes to mind, cheers!
