Pleading with the Stars

Each morning, the sun rises, full and bright,
but in the day, I'm not entranced -  only in the night.
The sun may be loving.  The sun may be pure. 
But, I yearn for a twinkling, more demure. 

I beseech the sun to undress the stars
as lovely Venus lets fall her gown for Mars.
Blushing star, you're hiding something from my eye. 
I know your fire burns, though you're so shy. 

A billion eyes fall on you from the earth - 
show me, mine are the only ones of worth. 
I reach up to you with my hungry arms.   
Let my eyes caress your secret charms,

that the two of us may love and play 
on harp strings - each shimmering silver ray,
until, in one rapturous cry, 
we find ecstasy in the ink black sky.
