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
Unauthorized Copying Is Prohibited.

A very intricately woven piece. It makes me think of Will and Tessa off "Infernal Instruments" for some reason. I guess it's just me.
