Skyrockets in flight...

I keep meaning to post this and then forgetting to do it. I wrote it. I hate reading my own work out loud or even watching people read it for the most part. But I'm pretty proud of it. It has no title. If you read it and have a brilliant idea as to what it should be called, leave me a comment and let me know.

Sitting still and wondering

Whilst you're off and plundering

I gaze upon the stars

And wonder if you're sacking Mars

The sky pirate life must be magic

Too bad your end is likely tragic

If you could come back to Earth

the planet of your auspicious birth

Maybe you could explain to me

Why our love can never be

Alas if you get as near as the Moon

It would spell our certain doom

Traveling to Mercury's silver shores,

"Show mercy!" to you they implore

But alas, tis not in your nature,

On your benevolence I would not wager,

As you cut them down in droves

Your breath smells faintly of cigar cloves

Your silver tongue tells nothing but lies,

I know you soar through Venus' iodine skies

How did I ever place my trust in you?

A pirate with eyes of palest blue

I feel a dagger twisting through my heart

I should have known it from the start

Jupiter's red eye stares balefully upon you

I claim no knowledge of the things you do

Still they keep me locked in a little room

Convinced in my eyes they see your doom

This isn't to far off from my intention

What I plan I dare not mention

I wish Saturn's rings were my trap

I'll soon be breathing down your back

I should have been your pirate queen

Instead I'll bring your end unseen

Should have loved me when you had the chance

But you didn't give me a second glance

Off the brilliant blue Uranus coast

We will see if you skill matches your boast

As I bear down towards your ship

You break me with a single crack of your whip

As I spin out into the depths of space

I hope for one last glimpse of your face

Spinning through Neptune's gaseous surface

I know my life was not without purpose

If you lose one peaceful nights slumber

Wondering over the victims that you plunder

Could you have chanced the path of fate?

It was unrequited love that led to my hate

So, that's it. It took my over a year to write it all I think and then it kind of went somewhere that I didn't expect it to go. I didn't include Pluto because it's not a planet anymore. I tried to fit it into the last verse somewhere but I just couldn't do it. I don't even know what kind of meter it's in. I'm really bad about being technical about poetry. I just keep rewriting a line until it sounds right in my head. Please feel free to comment.
