Reaching For the Romios Star

Don't tell a soul! There's a special star in the sky! The future home for my love and I. The outside is tanzanite, sapphire and lapis lazuli. Its door is blue chalcedonyn with a cosmic handle of white moonstone. Who loves moonstone? Why I do, you silly! You'll carry me in, wearing your "Fustanella!" The one I saw you dance in, that created in my heart, an eternal love thunderstorm. And we will remain soul-alive, in our eternal Romios Star.. Existing in our sparkling home, Romios. Indeed, the only luminous blue and white star in the sky. Oh, so glorious. * Fustanella-part of a Greek costume, that is worn by dancers and Evzones, the Greek Presidential  Guard.  It's white and similar to a kilt (I suggest research on this one.) No simple explanation on this fascinating topic. https://farm5.static.flickr.com/4704/26686964788_ab1f3e2fe4_b.jpg
