I look out and see her smile,
gleaming back at me,
Venus, in the night sky.
She approaches and as we embrace
my heart lifts to my throat
and my feelings to the heavens.
Time slows as,
atom by atom,
our lips touch
and thoughts unite.
The world spins faster and faster fading into nothing and my eyes open,
Staring into the deep deep dark.
I unclutch my pillow and roll
onto my side.
I stare into that
three thousand mile darkness
And wonder.
And hope.
