Between Virgo and Scorpius
my love lies -
accompanied by orange giants,
faintly glowing in the night skies.

Ruled by Venus,
her loving is the brighest
in all of this galaxy
spelling it out for all of us
(small-minded egocentric idiots)
si vis amari, ama.

If you wish to be loved
then love.

And if we're wise we will see
our limits lie with stars;
sapiens dominabitur astris
which I translate to
my limits shall lie with you.

For you
I shall erase all limits
that dare stand between us.

(Because you are
my favourite constellation
the reason why I keep reaching much higher
than my hands have ever touched before.)

When I reach you,
let us kiss 'till we see the stars
behind closed eyelids.

I hope you're listening when I pray to your primary stars
for I promise I shall whisper sweet, sweet honey phrases
in your ear until I have lulled you to sleep,
laying my admiration out for you to walk on

- red carpets have nothing on my love,
and I will learn to sprout wings
to become what you deserve.
