Fly Me to the Moon

Fly Me to the Moon

A Poem by Ashira Macy
"

And let me play among the stars...

"

As we gazed up at the stars that night

Feeling the light mist caressing our faces

I smiled at you and sang “Fly Me to the Moon.”

“No,” you countered as you clasped my hand in yours

And rocketed us into the darkened sky.

I marveled in wonder as we passed the Moon

Her pale face beaming at us in knowing.

Your lips brushed against mine as we drifted past Mars -

His blush deepening as we bid him farewell

And Jupiter winked his crimson eye.

But at Saturn we halted and you bowed to me,

You twirled me and hummed a waltz

As we danced across her graceful rings.

With a strike of teal lightning

She cried happy tears of crystalline carbon

Glittering bright in their mother’s radiance.

We halted in wonder as the jewels fell around us

In slow, gentle showers of precious stone,

Tickling our faces and adorning our hair.

Then one fell to my finger and there it stayed,

You looked at me with a gleam in your eye and proclaimed,

“She says you should marry me.”

My favorite piece of imagery is, "And Jupiter winked his crimson eye". Gah, even though the narrator and their lover are in space, there isn't much distance between them;P I've loved this song for such a long time and your poem definitely served it justice. Now I believe that I'll be imagining the descriptions in your poem whenever I hear it again, giving the song even more meaning!

This is gorgeous! I am usually an a*s and romantic poetry doesn't often appeal to me, but this was not run of the mill. I found my sappy self smiling on dancing on the midriff of hues you have painted. Really wonderful!

amazingly done my friend.. girl, you had the hopeless romantic in me dancing and twirling on the wings of love melting with images of stars in our lovers eyes and sincere adoration in their heart... It is breathtakingly beautiful while intellectually visual and stimulating.....
