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.
