From Sir to Miss; A Celestial Romance

By Poe Etiquette

You're different; I'm the same

Your radiance will wax and wane

 

You wander and whirl, in curious dances

Eluding; sometimes returning my glances

 

White and ghostly pale, but fuller of juvenescence

Than I could dream up, in my eternal endurance

 

You glide through the ocean; a specter of grace

As it recedes and rises to touch your face

 

Stay and shine back into my eyes

Or fly far, veiled in shadowy skies

No matter your fugitive trajectory

Your love will send you ever back to me

 

And though your love is fleeting

Our hearts, in convergence beating

Provide circulation that bears repeating

Our child of bliss, our love is heating

 

And in jealousy, dire, the heavens let fall lonely tears

Shaking for desire; trepidation of the spheres

    thanks so much. glad you caught that of course, in the title Sir, refers to the sun. and Miss, to the moon.
