Night Flight to Venus

Night flight to Venus

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
