the moon and the stars
the sun and the earth
bound up together
brown string since birth
she is a whisper
stepping into the light
petals unfurling
Jupiter’s own might
he is desolate
far down in the earth
claimed by Saturn
the whisper goes unheard
there are two gravestones
not side by side
torn apart by the ages
Venus’s true love dies
a teardrop on Mars
anger starts our war
golden-amber-white
bodies furiously intertwined
mine is a soft sigh
breaks the silence of time
tastes like Mercury
poisonous message inside
the third and forgotten
Neptune in the deep
conquers monsters unknown
allows us to breathe
the gods and the planets
rulers of fate
Divine in their nature
for mankind they wait
