Neptune
Why do I love the moon.
Its pale eyes
And frail goodbyes
As it fades to blue
Too soon.
The softest beams
Does wrap, it seems
All romance
In cocoon.
Why do I love the sun.
Who brings new dawn
To everyone.
Brightest fellow in the skies.
He wears dark cloud as his disguise.
A kaleidoscope
That bleeds into sky,
That we call sunset,
Slowly waves goodbye.
Why do I love the stars.
That burn like diamonds
On spectral necklace.
A million candles
That woo the reckless.
And dance
Only for lovers eyes.
Embracing,
Chasing
Flaming sighs.
Why do I love the ocean.
Where power meets love
With poetic motion.
Silently sailing everyone's dreams
To islands of flowering idyllic scenes.
The mirror to the moon.
And quencher of the sun.
When stars first thrilled Neptune
It was then
All love was spun.
