Jaded Phrases

I wrote it in about 5 to 10 minutes, in a single stroke of genius. Will need to be edited and the imagery will need to be made more cohesive. Also, veneer isn't as poetic as I would like. Need to change that.

My sky
Tonight
Is lacquered veneer

Dust
Awash
Through celestial glare

Tongue tastes copper
With a jade bracelet
Pry from pallid arms
Swinging from Saturn's rings

Succumb
Become
Return to Earth, Spaceman
Our fool's traipsed
Over a knoll he
Can't see
Over

All my life
I've waited for this
And worn the mark
Too brazenly
See the viridian spin
So, rings of Saturn,
Pull me in
