A moonlit night carries the anticipation
Of boundless passion
Such has been the case since
Selene loved Endymion
Through the night that glowing orb
Inspires lovers' dreams
Giving rise to prose and verse
Uttered desperately beneath her beams
Though she charged it inconstant
'Twas the moon inspired Juliet
To aver that for her Romeo
She would no longer be Capulet
And Romeo for his part
When he thought Juliet dead
Couldn't live without her
And took his own life instead
Such madness is expected
For the moon drenched lunatic
Forsaking the cautious and the careful
The practical and the politic
So who are we to resist
This rich lunar legacy
That immortalizes impetuous lovers
In the throes of ecstasy
My darling come let us add
Our names to this illustrious list
So our love story will be
A love story that persists
