Let's claim a trip across the Milky Way.
We'll be the era's most star-crossed couple.
The Sun's drips as they detect a flawless sky; 
Away we journeyed yet close to seraphic supple.

Star-forded lovers claimed to be holy ghosts.
We flew across the moon and played near Saturn.
Until I met you that day, life was a little lost.
Was love or pain the result of a rainy pattern? 
  
For ages, we were kids who never spat or cried.
It is unclear how quickly this love will have died.
I doubt it, given our status as star-crossed lovers.
A lover's fate is never heard beyond gilded covers.

We were the ones who lit the embers of love.
When we lock lips, it's such a sparkler shove.
Proud holders of love's endless happiness.
Clouds represent the ebb and flow of bliss.
 
Akin to Adam and Eve first breach, it is timeless.
Yet we loved first. I didn't ever feel that tideness.
Can this genuinely happen without you?
In that case, this whole existence means a hue.

You gave me wings to soar to the heavens.
I reckon we're cute—you gave me rapture.
You widened my heart to the point of rupture.
Rhymes are worthless if graced by your presence.
 
We adore regardless of our star-crossed sway.
Our love will be a myth as we sail by the Milky Way.
Death-stained lovers lying beneath thick covers
Love whispers vibrate miles apart, drawing us smothers.

We waltz around Saturn hand in hand.
Leaping above the moon, a stellar band
Life was monotonous until that awful day.
When our souls sparred in a cosmic display.

Well, I wonder sometimes is the universe or galaxy is as colorful and beautiful when one is actually out there in it. Someday when I pass through, I guess I will know. Thanks for sharing this romantic one with us and for dropping by my page. Sara Login to Reply

Was love or pain the result of a rainy pattern? Wow! That line stood out for me and so much more especially the opening, the galactic and stellar wordplay and diction truly is impeccable.
