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?
