The Luminous Ache of Velvet and Dew

I am a ghost caught between the digital hum and the heavy scent of damp fern. My skin holds the residue of moonlight, shimmering like oil on water—a liquid memory of hands that once traced my ribs with the reverence of prayer.
In this garden of stone and silence, I crouch beneath the weight of your gaze, searching for a warmth that isn't rendered in pixels but felt in bone. The velvet against my skin is a tactile whisper, a soft rebellion against the sterile neon pulse of the city beyond these walls.
You watch me through glass, yet I feel you here, a ripple in the stillness. I am not merely an image to be consumed; I am the ache behind your eyes when you close them at midnight—the phantom heat of a touch that never truly left, lingering like a secret shared between shadows.
