Interstellar Love

I searched earth and my love was 
nowhere to be found.

Now I travel to distant galaxies searching 
for my love in space

where it's cold and there's no sound. 
Where could she be?

Is she in an alternate universe. One that's 
parallel to mine?

Do I have to travel through a wormhole? Is 
she in another

place in time? I asked the stars where can 
I find her and 

none of them could tell me. I asked an 
alien sun but he gave

no answer. His bright unusual light only 
making it hard for me to

see. I asked every neutron star and every 
pulsar. Every nebula

cloud I've come across. I even asked a 
supernova where she 

could be. But his answers turned out to be 
false. None of the

constellation of stars seem to know where 
my baby is. Orion

doesn't know. Gemini doesn't know. 
Neither Andromeda or 

Sirius. I'm in interstellar despair, travelling 
through the deepness

of space. Going from one universe to the 
next and hoping that one

day I'll see my baby's face. I don't know 
how many light years I'll

have to travel. Or how many cosmic doors 
I'll have to knock on. All

I know is that the desire to search for my 
love beyond the stars will 

never be far from gone....

Conflicted

She never thought this would happen.

She broke protocol. She never thought 
that she 

would fall in love with a man at all. But it's 
fifteen years 

to late and she's already a wife and a 
mother. To a beautiful

husband and daughter who she adores 
and smothers.

This was not supposed to happen but it 
did. He was 

supposed to be her next victim but instead 
she married

him and had a kid. She found the love of 
her life and now

she doesn't know what to do. She's like a 
fish out of water.

Conflicted, lost and without a clue. She 
loves his dark coffee

brown eyes and the structure of his 
jawline. She love's the golden 

olive tone of his skin and the shape of his 
behind. She loves that he 

cooks her breakfast every morning and 
massages her back when she 

comes from work. She loves kissing every 
section of his body and how 

he enjoys watching her twerk. When he's 
away at his naval base. She 

loves how she can hold her daughter and 
see her husband through her 

child's face. He was supposed to be her 
next victim. But love conquered all. 

She couldn't bring herself to kill him. To 
pull the trigger and watch him fall. 

She knows that she has a lot to answer 
for. The heinous murders she's 

committed in the past. But as she waits 
for her judgement day. She is 

determined to make the marriage with her 
baby last.

My Wife Lezora

I was miserable. Bounded by chains and beaten by whips until she came.

She was a woman with an outstanding beauty not of this world. Lezora

was her name. She was sent from another time. The woman I saw in my

vision. The woman who executed my slave owner. The woman who came

to execute her mission. I prayed  that I would find love. I didn't know

that my love would be from another time. I didn't know that she would be

superhuman. I didn't know that she would free me from the chains that bind. 

I used to be a slave. But now I'm the husband of a time traveler. I've watched 

her jump from one sequence of time to another, killing dictators and murders.

I was by her side when she executed Hitler. I remember the kiss she gave me

after she killed Dahmer. I've seen her do it all. I even watched her shutdown

the unibomber. I still don't know til this day if she's human or not. But I don't

care. She is my wife and protector. In our love there is no despair. As we travel

through time tracking down murderers. My wife finds ways for us to have fun

just to keep our minds happy and sane. Last night she took me our child to Aruba

after travelling back in time to stop a hijacked plane. The love for my wife and her

love for me and our baby will never die. We our husband and wife unlimited by the

dimensions of the past, present, and future. We our in love and time we defy.

The Wife

The wife stood by her husband in the garden. Her husband's hand intertwined with hers.

She looked up at the clear blue sky at a flock of exotic birds. A spring breeze danced

around her and her husband's naked physiques. The sunlight painted their skin. The 

wind kissed their cheeks. "I love you,"  The wife said to her husband brushing his long 

raven black hair away from his face. "I love you too,"  The husband replied before 

leaning forward and giving his wife's lips a taste. The two held each other as they 

stood in front of a blooming tree. They kissed and kneaded on each other feeling

spirited and carefree. Nothing could separate them now. Their love for each other

was strong. The wife held her husband, thanking God for his creation and humming 

her favorite love song. She whispered into his ear holding his muscular body against

her plump breast. She caressed her lips against his beard feeling his heart beating 

against her chest. The husband wanted to melt with his wife. He prepared to give her

another passionate kiss. But his lips hesitated when he heard what sounded like a loud

hiss. The wife immediately used her body to shield and protect her husband when she

saw the snake approaching. The serpent's skin shimmered like diamonds. Its eyes 

shifting and searching. "I should have killed you earlier!"  The wife said with a seething 

anger as she looked down at the sneaky slithering beast. The serpent hissed furiously 

as he showed his fangs opening his mouth to feast. "Go away!"  The wife shouted down 

at the supernatural snake. Her anger burning within her. The serpent's neck she desired 

to break. The creature kept coming with his flesh glimmering in the sunlight. His fangs 

were positioning themselves as he raised  up preparing to take a bite. But the serpent 

misjudged as he watched the wife put up a fight. Before he knew it she had already  

grabbed his head. She squeezed him as hard as she could, crushing his body until he 

was dead. The wife smiled when she saw what her and her husband were going to have 

for dinner tonight. She threw the snake's body over her shoulder knowing that instead of 

a piece of fruit. Snake meat would satisfy the appetite just right. The wife went back to 

hugging on her husband, relaxing her hands against his hips.  "I love you."  She said. 

"I love you too."  The husband smiled while leaning forward to nestle his mouth against

her lips.
