Night flight to Venus
By
Jude Kyrie

I know you and I
exist on very different planets.
Men are from Mars
Women are from Venus.
This is written.

Yours a planet filled with beauty
And soaring dreams that fly
over clouds to touch the sun.
Mine a place where
my dreams are tethered to
It rocky lonely terrain.
Seeking it's safety.

I know how your dreams
and ambition are colored brightly.
With every hue of the spectrum.
While mine are but monochrome.

Even knowing all of this
My heart has fallen in love with you.
And I must follow its needs.
To wherever you are.

So tonight I must swallow
All my fears and doubts.
And leave the safety of Mars.
I will take the next spaceship to Venus.
And learn how to exist
In its strange
yet beautiful atmosphere.
For that is where you are
And without you
My home is but a barren land.

And If ever I should fall
From your speeding comet.
I shall know I have touched
The love sent
from the doors of heaven.
And it was you that brought me there
