Excerpts from 'The Farmer's Bride' with Science Fiction Context
My bride, my bride, my bride, my bride,
I have watched her in the field, her eyes wide,
A creature of the night, her gaze unfurled,
Reflected in the stars, a story untold.
She moves like shadows in a futuristic haze,
A being caught ‘tween worlds, in a digital maze.
Her voice, a whisper, soft and faint,
Echoes through cyberspace, a haunting taint.
Her face lit by neon’s cold glow,
Her silhouette in the alien show.
A universe between us, vast and wide,
Her spirit, wild, impossible to guide.
I long to reach her, to understand,
This otherworldly bride from distant land.
Her silence speaks of worlds unseen,
A mystery in this sci-fi dream.
What secrets does her stare reveal,
In cosmic depths, how does she feel?
Her heartbeat syncs with the alien beat,
In a universe where fantasy and reality meet.
Her presence, strange yet familiar, a paradox,
A creature of the stars, beyond our clocks.
The past and future in her eyes collide,
A fractured soul, in a cosmic tide.
I watch, I wait, for her to decide,
Will she stay in this starry ride?
Or vanish into the blackened sky,
Leaving me to wonder why?
