Across the vast and frightening sea,
Is a civilization of future technology.
Their beaches lined with crystal orbs,
Networked homes with intelligent doors,
Organic fruits, thatched roofs, stone floors.
Invisible streams of data course,
Through veins of humans and machine,
Across the skies and sub marine.

They are the fire starters.
Catch a glimpse and stare.
For desire we die as martyrs.
Curious eyes burn in despair.
Evening slipped beyond the hills.
The stars invaded the clear blue sky.
The sounds of the coming night were filled.
The mice did scurry, screech owl cry.
The deer dashed as the stars sparked.
In awhile the fox would come near.
Now he waits as bugles harked.
While the shadows disappear.
I’m young, shy and funny, mostly a loner.
I want you to hold me tightly, closer,
Be my lover, be my friend, my everything under the stars.
Smile with me, laugh with me, make happiness ours.
