Saturn in the distance,
looking balefully at me.
Taunting me and mocking you
for what we cannot do.

Jupiter is closer,
a well-documented fact;
and Romeo kissed Juliet...
look where THEY ended up at.

Pluto is the farthest,
or I may be wrong.
Purple dragons flying by
I bite my heart and cry.

Venus is the closest,
of this, at least, I'm sure;
and Antony loved Cleo,
they had a love so pure.

The Moon shines brightest of them all,
that light will ne'er go out.
I feel my heart catch fire again,
with a love that is my bane.
*Thanks Robin!

What I love is how the title gives you one set of expectations, and then the poem goes and blows them all away. Awesome work, Skyfire.

Lovely poetry here. I really only have one suggestion, and I am not sure why I think this, but may I suggest changing the "me" in..
"looking balefully at me." to "us"?
Just thought it might flow better with the fact that you mention both parties in the next line. Good work.

I really enjoyed the read, it was very intresting and quite a departure from some of your other stuff, keep on writing and I'll keep on reading it.
