Star-Crossed Lovers

A Venusian and Martian met one day
But a language barrier stood in their way.
They observed the stars
Between Venus and Mars
Still, they had very little to say.

Both are unique and complex in make
Desiring a love that would make Earth shake.
Though broken at heart
They must stay apart.
There are plenty more options to take.

If only their warring families knew
Of the chemistry existing between these two!
They might try to seek peace
Cultural conflicts may cease...
The Marnusians would be a form new.

Unfortunately life doesn't work that way
Whatever fairytales and fantasies say.
Each a star-crossed lover
Secret. Undercover.
Their affection doomed til their dying day.
