Analysis of Similar Aliens



A star caught in your eyes,
the gleam of worlds unknown,
your smile crosses the universe between us,
clearer than any language we could speak,
aliens to each other when we meet,
a soft embrace with few words spoken,
but all for naught is the worry of our
 differences,
when our lips meet, we are one.
