I've been quixotic as fuck
Lost among the stars
Looking for a lover
From another
Galaxy
Something beyond ours.
And I can't fathom
How her aura
Penetrates
My atmosphere
Got me scattered
With no pattern
I haven't felt this way
In years.
-
As I gazed into her eyes
She said:
"Hey, they call me Mars."
And I was off,
My spirit chasing hers
Aloft, between the stars.
-
And I remembered then
Yes, way back when
Some time ago, we'd met.
And she had lost her little
Bottle of perfume.
I couldn't forget.
As I presented it to her
I wondered
If she'd missed me yet.
Her eyes alight
A sparkle to her smile
I'd safely won that bet.
-
She said
"Hey...do me a favor."
As she handed me her phone.
Gave her my digits
Saved the widget
Maybe she'll text
When she gets home.
And I can't wait to go visit
Maybe she'll show me her poems,
Or her short stories
Or whatever she writes
When she's all alone.
-
I've been looking for someone to love
My heart's been feeling hollow.
Maybe she has love to spare
To share
Or even just to borrow.
And I can't fathom
How her smile
Seemed to melt
My atmosphere
Yes, she's vexed
My one trajectory
Ducked my detection gear.
-
As she gazed into my eyes
She said:
"You can call me Mars."
Such a vision
Sudden collision
What a body
Among stars.
