Interstellar Love
By Michael Mulcahy


there is no trouble here

this crashing of atoms is to romance

sensational, as I was once insatiable

for this earth was boring and I felt alone

but now I am only not content with time

because all the years this Earth shall give

it will never be enough

to share with my shooting star

alas, we shall shine, and brightly so

perhaps she is a phoenix

as she sets my night on fire

the stars vanish behind the glow

outshone by this swirling nebula

it's uncontrollable now

engulfed by this force, larger than life

more power than all those before it

but I dare not shield my eyes

if her beauty be my downfall, make it so

if this brightness blinds, then shall it blind me

at least she'll be the last thing I see

a wave of passion washes over me

she gives me a half smile, a curled bottom lip

her eyes glisten for me, for my love

no longer is there a thorn in my side

nor in my sweetest rose

we are invincible

as no one stops a ferocious tidal wave

no one shall stop us and what is to come

"devour me"

the thought races through my head

"take all of me and I shall do the same for you

then it shall be us, and how we'll thrive

how no one will comprehend our joy

we shall leave them to their cold, dark world

and start anew, inside love's protection"

I am alive!

no greater feeling, or happier day

then a day souls choose one another

they mesh into one

how beautiful, this day

so let's be our own inferno, darling

let's shatter their beliefs

we'll stand the test of time

and we'll surpass life's transgressions

the strongest component is us

the greatest weapon our bond

no one's seen anything quite like it

this interstellar love
