the sun was her husband
and the moon, her lover
once the sun dipped into the ocean
it was time for the sky to dress up
she chose her darkest and most daring velvet ensemble
and adorned herself with stars and other glittering jewelsshrouded in mystery and darkness
she saw the moon approaching hergazing at him with clear invitation in her eyes,
the sky blew some clouds his wayhe slowly closed in
and a touch was all that separated them
but once that was out of the way,
she and the moon whispered sweet nothings,
took cover behind clouds
to meet, greet, and mate
to make constellations
out of pure and unadulterated passion
that was as bright as a supernova
and as unfathomable as the galaxies___
