Nightlight to Venus..a poem by Jude kyrie

Men are from Mars
Women are from Venus.
This is written so.

Yours a planet filled with beauty
And soaring dreams that fly
over clouds to touch the sun.
The colors and perfumes
Are breathtaking.
Full of soft femininity.

Mine a place where
my dreams are tethered to
It rocky lonely terrain.
Seeking it's safety.
Perhaps too grounded.

I know how your dreams
and ambition are colored brightly.
With every hue of the spectrum.
While mine are but monochrome.
Seeing the  Rocky terrain
Of the red planet.

Even knowing all of this
Even above my fears
of leaving my home.
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.
