I’ll carve your face on the Moon,
while I climb a ladder of stars.
Past the satellites with the blinking lights
to meet you for a picnic on Mars.
Tread the crystalline ice,
play in the cold till we’re chilled,
then dance across the Asteroid Belt seeking cheap thrills.
We reminisced our vacation where we soaked up the rays
lazing and dazing, last week on Mercury.
A day-trip to Jupiter reminds me what I’d do for her;
shelter her from every storm.
And in turn, as we’re on Saturn,
her love outshines the planets iridescent form.
You’ll laugh at my attempts
to compare your eyes with the diamonds of Uranus.
Then, I’ll playfully splash you
While we skinny dip on Neptune
We lay to rest on Pluto and sleep for a hundred and fifty-three hours or so.
Then, when the day breaks I’ll watch your face as the sun and your smile creeps awake.
We make it back to Earth by noon.
We say we'll see each other soon.
But we both know that there’s no place, other than in space
Where we can make ‘us’ work.
