Spiraling Stardust Sight

Chasing clusters of dust and Venus vapid lust We sailingly sway throughout the Milky Way In a thrust, we land on a planet of candescent crust And with dynamic display spiraling star dust spray Jupiter and its moon Callisto a calamitous cocoon With craters of ice, the shivering silence shall suffice Off to Mars by noon on a botanical baronial balloon It has paid the price with scars that scabrously splice And lest we not forget Pluto a throwaway or asset A tiny pinhole within the cosmic super galactic bowl On the night we met the stars shining as we sweat The love that you stole along with my heart and soul All this on a spontaneous starry narcotising night Within a spiraling stardust spraying sensuous sight.

Well, I had to read this one more than once and look up a few words...lol... but in the end I really really liked it, especially that last line with all those great "s" words. Very clever...and good luck in the contest WW.
