Behind the envious veil of the ashen clouds.
The blazing sea of fractured lights,
pleads with unadulterated splendor
for the impassioned touch of a lover's eye.
Shamed by its resplendence,
Urania recoils in anguish
when its beauty is beheld.
Begging to be seen,
praying to be forgotten.
Author notes
"Evening Star" prompt. I based this on stars and the composition of our eyes, and how when you attempt to behold the luminescent beauty of a star, they appear dimmer, but when viewed peripherally, they are bright and splendorous. 
Enjoy,
Jess
