Machine Fire

Machine Fire

A DBZ fan poem by LadyRivka

From the first day I met you

I knew we were destined to be together.

Partly biotic, partly machine, like me,

I captured something in your eyes I couldn't explain.

The first time we touched each other

(I knew it was a game, a ruse, somehow)

It felt like a homecoming,

Back to your flesh.

I do not care if my father

Had to hold a deactivation device behind your back to

Make you see how I felt.

I loved you then and still do.

Laying in our bed, two years hence,

Responsive to your touches and your wild passion,

Panting like wild dogs,

I finally get to feel the effects of your machine fire.
