The crescent moon has hid from me its glow And stars have lost their twinkle in the sky My broken heart floats in this celestial throe As the goddess Venus flickers with a sigh The heavens tell me love is lost As I orbit a galaxy of broken hearts The price of love comes with a heavy cost For when it's lost I fall apart A distant galaxy where love can find a chance Beckons to me in this ethereal night It pulls me in with a gravity of romance And leads me closer to love's light But as the crescent moon comes into view It reminds me how much I miss you -~- 11-11-17

A great poem with wonderfully sad imagery. The universe of the heart is full of pain. I always enjoy a space themed poem hidden as a romantic sonnet. I really like this one!
