Her gaze scraped flesh from the bones of heaven
as she shivered in the firm grip of chilled air.

Her eyes, her soul, intent on capturing that one moment
and stealing it from the broken skies.

Her glass-jar heart bent on never setting the beauty free.
She would seal the lid with each bated breath, and smile.

Static danced with its wavering freedom
around the fibers of her mind.

She jumped and reached out into the gaping mouth of the night.
Her fingers wrapped tight around the writhing serpent.

Her gaze scraped flesh from the bones of heaven
as she shivered in the firm grip of chilled air.

Her glass-jar heart bent on never setting the beauty free.
She laid a palm on her electric chest.

The creature jumped within her.
She smiled and vowed

to never forget

the lightning.
There are no words to describe the beauty of a storm.

It doesn't quite feel smooth, and it's slightly awkwardly phrased, but it's miles better than most shit people post on here! Just please take my advice and try not to fall into the "this does this as that does that" structure. Not that it's unusable, it's just not that good and if you see someone use it exclusively in a free-verse poem, you can bet that it's usually a beginner's writing.
