paint a smile on the moon flash your eyes to make it swoon dip your toes in stardust rare aurora highlights streak your hair blow a kiss to flout the sun admonishing its time is done whisper in the heaven's ear close the lights and draw it near repose your form upon the stars lustrous arms for tempting Mars seduce Lord Jupiter and sway wrapped only in the Milky Way splash meteors across the sky to catch your lover Neptune's eye entwine with loins the planets all made hostage to your beck and call kiss deep the void and let it be one pledge to grace the galaxy that all your wiles you'll disperse to make love to ... the Universe.

Does the vision get any better than this? I don't think so. Beautiful Greg!

Oh, thank you so very much, Lonna - what a wonderful comment! This one is special to me, for many reasons, but especially because I put all the planets and constellations at the correct placement in the sky at the time it was written, (even the meteor showers), so folks familiar with those things will know what time of the year it was. I love to put little secrets within a poem! Blessings, Dear Poet - I'm so pleased you liked this one! :o) <3

Thank you so very much, Line, I greatly appreciate the kind words! Very pleased you enjoyed this one, as it is very special to me - at the time I wrote it I did so as to represent the actual position in the sky of the stars and planets I mentioned ... plus it was one of those that just flowed, and something I shared with my kids. Blessings!

Thank you so kindly, Andrea, so pleased that you liked this ... it is very special to me. And congrats to you as well - seems you are something of a tour de force around here, and I very much enjoy what I've read of your work, though I need to read MORE! Hopefully I will be able to do so and get more involved here as my schedule eases a bit this summer. Thanks again! :-)

Thanks so much, Doug - it even related directly (at the time written) to the position in the sky of most of the celestial objects mentioned ... I had a lot of fun with that! :-)
