Moon and Venus

Venus shines brightly

dueting with the Moon

like two celestial lovers

playing hide and seek

Moon wants to give a surprise

changing its shape and size

Venus responds lovingly

shining even more bright

they disappear

one after another

to spend the night together

making love to each other

and reappear shyly at dawn

just before the sunrise.
