I

My lover's eyes are brighter than the stars

They sparkle golden, green, and hazel brown

I meet his gaze, and strongly wish to drown

Until my self-control emotion bars.

My lover's lips are silken to my touch

And yield so easily unto my kiss.

And when he smiles, I feel it all too much

And all my training gladly I dismiss.

My captain's voice can be as hard as steel

As he commands his ship within the borders

Of Federation space, to high acclaim.

My lover's voice is something I can feel

When he, at last, has finished giving orders

And softly, gently, warmly speaks my name.

II

My lover's eyes are deep and dark as night

But there is starlight glittering inside,

A twinkle that he usually will hide

That sets my human soul ablaze with light.

His Vulcan strength is useful during day

As we face danger everywhere in space

And then, his strength will take my breath away

At night, when I delight in his embrace.

How could I live without him at my side?

I would not live -- he often saved my life.

I rarely thanked him, had to mind the store.

But when we touch, I soon forget my pride

And set aside all thoughts of work and strife.

He owns my heart, as no man did before.
