For Beth's Prompts challenge with the prompts 'tempest', 'fury', 'dance', and 'never say never'.

g l a m o u r
(it's a double-edged sword, darling)

you're all sparkleshimmershine,
glittering under stagelights,
gazing at nighttime stars,
dancing in every storm

(every storm deserves a dance
but are you the storm,
or are you the dance, stargazer?)

with your telescope in hand,
you could rule the galaxy
a princess of honey&bubbles
pretty, sweet, irresistible

you can charm anyone with
your thick, honey-gold curls,
your bright, bubble-blue eyes,
and your sweetsweet smile

oh, but princesses need a prince
don't they, sweetheart?
and you don't have one, do you?
because he's already found a queen
hasn't he?

and she's not only your cousin
(how can you compete?)
she can blaze her way into
any h e a r t, especially his

she's rebellion and fireworks
fury against parents,
the thrill of revolution,
blood-red (forbidden)
instead of
honey-gold (sweetness)

and we all know that
queens trump princesses
and roses are prettier than
sweet, silly star(gazer)s

(don't we, darling?)

and you have that special
Veela-induced g l a m o u r,
the charm that makes you
sparkleshimmershine

but that doesn't always work
he certainly seems to prefer
that old forbidden love cliché

(now you see the other side
of that sword, don't you?)

and you'll n e v e r be
forbidden or tempting or
e n o u g h

(oh, but you should
never say never)

and this boy, he's kind of like
a s t o r m himself, isn't he?
all eyes like tempests
and lightning-bright hair

he's even named after a
c o n s t e l l a t i o n
a scorpion, so very fitting
so very d a n g e r o u s

don't you rule the galaxy?
she might be queen of flowers
but you're princess of the night sky
and he's a tempest, floating between you

so is he a prince?
does he like pretty little stars?
or is he a king?
in love with brightbright flowers?

everyone certainly seems to think
that Scorpius&Rose are like
d e s t i n y or something
(but are they really?)

because aren't all flowers
doomed to d i e?
they just wilt, losing their color
their brightness, everything

oh, but stars, when they die,
they e x p l o d e into supernovas
an explosion of bright sparkles,
young hearts, and princess tiaras

and storms always belonged
to the heavens, didn't they?
and haven't you ever seen
the way he looks at you?

for someone who gazes so much
you see very little, sweetheart
didn't you notice?
he was always yours

glamor may be a
double-edged sword
lucky for you, stargazer,
he's your k n i g h t
so he's good with swords

and maybe he was never
a king or a prince
but that's okay
sometimes princesses
get knights in shining armor

especially princesses who
dance in every single
t e m p e s t

"Why do you dance in the rain, Stargazer?"

"Because every storm deserves a dance."
