Take me back to those times
When we walked in my mind
Together upon the ocean strands –
Anything I said, you’d understand
You exchanged our hope for distance,
Though I was bound by your resistance
Every sunset Venus spoke with me
Over waves reminding of mystery
As the moon in all of her phases
Shed light upon waves reflected
That somewhere you still existed
Even though behind closed door:
My brave, valiant man from Mars –
Heard from once, then never more.
