Celestial romance

Earth woos Venus but she is resistant,
reflecting light of sol in the night sky,
mirrored by her lover who’s persistent,
that tango dancing, tremulous hearts sigh.

The girl next door is the beauteous moon,
who planet earth does date from time to time
for when in full bloom, she makes his heart swoon
but Venus alone awakens love’s chime.

Playing spoilsport, Mars spits venom and fire,
whilst jilted Saturn casts a dark shadow,
since for hand of Venus, they both aspire,
though it’s fated neither can be her beau.

Love letters carried on a comet’s tail,
declare those who’re pure of heart will not fail.

Thank you for supporting my Flash Poetry Challenge (7), Unseeking Seeker. This is delightful! That spoilsport Mars and jilted Saturn. If only they could recast their orbits. Maybe things would be different! ;-)
