Two figures—saviors of their own worlds—sit together in a quiet springtime field.
Russel to Ash:
my lover, friend, protector…
you make my life full
your playful nature and trust
wraps me in warm smiles
and protective arms.
you adore my spectrum
my joys are yours
and yours are mine
i share my loves
you fathom them in turn
you listen to my poems
join my morning jogs
things that bore others as
we collect stones like enamored crows
a pair meant to be
you see me as i am
you say i am mature and calm
but a loveable child at heart
protective as you are supportive
i love you evermore
i’ve always been ignored
or downtrodden—the bullied
now i carry a world on my back
but it’s all made possible
with your support.
without hesitation you pulled
me from dark waves
your body shielded me;
you took in pain
to protect my love
i fight to protect you
to see you safe from
dangerous kidnappers
attacks, close calls,
to end in loving rescue
to spend a day
in your arms
these daffodils,
the sun, and bird song are
mere accessories of my love
no poem in our worlds
could entrap our passions in
ink and stanzas
i’ll recite ballads and call you
my love, my support, my warrior
you make me feel capable
to stand up for myself
able to defend you—
i’ll challenge Jithran guards
and anyone who’ll do you harm
Ash to Russel:
your jade splendor
to my amethyst love
you protected me when
i was threatened
nearly used for scientific gain
from Earth to Otacaia
our love knows no bounds
but to our people,
what is a responsibility to all,
when you are my whole world?
we fear letting down
the people of our homes
we fear failure when
we must protect everyone
increasing the risks to our lives
the adventures
we’ve pursued together
out in space, across
worlds beyond our own
you’ve had my back
how many times –my love—
have you rescued me?
in heart, entrapments,
dead ends with no where to turn
you are always there
i thought only people in love songs
“took a bullet” for you
your pain is my nightmare
but your love
is my armor
none in my world match
your love for astronomy
how you wiggle and fidget
exclaim your interests
support your loved ones
i love your Eskimo kisses
when you caress my face
with your human hands
never flinching from
my Opar-han skin
i wish we could spend
a normal, quiet day
without world-ending threats
just a quiet picnic
or a nap in the sun
you are unique
your interests make my heart
beat alongside your personality
appearance, and dear fascinations
share with me, and i’ll listen
Both
you are more special
than a thousand suns
my love from another world
among the stars
