My love sauntered into the room
A face as lovely as a flower-covered tomb
My beau’s bright eyes shone like stars
Catapulting me all the way to Mars
I’m in outer space, you set me free
To float around without misery
I begin my stellar journey at the sun
It reminds me that you’re the only one
The center of our solar system, and you’re the center of mine
A planet and a love that’s oh-so-divine
I leave the sun, and soar through the heavens
And arrive at planet number eight minus seven
They say Mercury brings confusion in retrograde
But no matter what, my love will never fade
If you’re my Mercury, then let me be poisoned
I’ll see my reflection shining silver, like a beaned Illinoisan
Venus is next, the planet of love
Sulfurous clouds belching above
My stomach feels like Venus whenever I’m near you
My love makes me nervous, though I never shall fear you
I circle the earth, on my intergalactic journey of romance
Returning home yet? No, not a chance!
They say absence makes the heart grow fonder
And I want you to want me forever and longer
Mars is next, red, red like my heart
Which runs like a car engine with a push-to-start
You set me ablaze, I cannot deny
And I won’t be extinguished, no matter how hard I try
They say boys go to Jupiter, to get more stupider
I found none, just gas, but I’m no quitter
Jupiter’s red spot, an eternal storm
Like my love rages on, and keeps us both warm
We’re not the sun and the moon, but Saturn’s rings
Orbiting around a single thing
Our love a planet, us surrounding
Joyful proclamations resounding
Second to last, the planet Uranus
Here, I could make a joke so heinous
But I’ll say it’s the only planet on a horizontal axis
Just as your love makes me swoon, and my head spin so fast-is
Neptune the final, named for the god of the ocean
A romantic beach trip would put my heart in motion
Neptune so cold, negative three seventy-three
But you warm my soul, and fill me with glee
Pluto forgotten, Pluto alone
Poem’s getting long, no time to atone!
I come down to Earth, from my trip through the stars
I gaze in your eyes, and I sigh from afar
You made me an astronaut, sent me through space
And I love you no matter the time or the place
