the Moon

I am the Moon
and you my Venus.

I admire your beauty from afar
and dream of, from earth breaking free,

as I whisk myself worlds away,
to a place I long to be,
in orbit by your side.

And I would spin round and round,
as your gravity, it pulls me in.

I see you there so far away,
and dream of the journey 
that would lead me to you.

This attraction that can not be denied,
this yearning unfulfilled.

The moons, they are many,
but none so true,

as this one far away,
dreaming of just you.
