Alien Lovers
I prize your heart like an incandescent star out of the sky
To keep myself from feeling lonesome at night.
In my dreams, the crescent moon of your back cradles me to sleep
And your astral eyes drift me off into the green pea galaxy.
I'm infinite with you in celestial spaces, in the voids above
We are nothing less than pressureless intercosmic dust.
My eyes met yours
And outer space became my home
My soul consigned its past into oblivion
Before my body even knew what it felt like to forget.
I would welcome death lustfully
If you, my luminous star, I did ever have to abandon
Because life is asleep
And love is an unwakeable dream.
