Kathryn Janeway sat up in her bed. The lights were down low and here’s what she said:
“Kes is that you I see in the night? Can it be true that you know of my plight?”

“Oh yes, my dear Captain, I know that it’s true. You’re sad and you’re lonely, so here’s what I’ll do:
I’ll grant you a wish, the hope of your heart. So listen carefully, for now it will start.
“In silence you’ll be til the rule has been met. His should touch yours before the sun sets
If not this is done, then surely you’ll see that no word spoken will come from thee”

“But Kes to this I cannot agree! I love to talk and argue, you see.
Besides, who then can run my ship? I cannot be tied down in the lock of the lip!”

“A lock of the lip is just what you need. Now get up and get to it. Yes go, God speed!”

 
Kathryn awoke to find all in place. What a dream I had! she thought with distaste.
She then dressed quickly, and made for deck one but when she was seated her voice was all gone.

The crew were all worried, and stated the same and the one called Doctor called out the blame.
It’s all psychological, it’s in your mind, you see. Get up, and get over it and then whole you’ll be.
The Doctor, she decided, was useless to her. Had she a voice she’d deactivate the cur.
But still he was right and she knew it was true. Kes had told her; she knew what to do.
Not that it was bad, and it was her desire. If she put her mind to it, she set that man afire.
So, settled was her mind when she sent him a note:  Right now, my quarters. I know the antedote!

He came right away and stood at her door. She had to drag him in and throw him to the floor.
Within moments, no kiss in sight. He’d pinned her to the ground and called for full lights.
“Kathryn what’s wrong? You’re not acting yourself. The best thing to do is to call for some help”
The Doctor arrived, looking far too elated. Hypo spray held high, he wanted her sedated.

With a mighty heave, and a heluva punch she was up off the floor. There was a satisfying crunch.
No more hypospray, but the Doctor remained. She knew what to do to keep him restrained.
Mobile emitter. Mine, yes all mine. Til later sweet Doctor. Come Chako, it’s time.

She moved toward him with a delicate swagger. Kiss me! she thought. That’s all thats that matter!
But Chak couldn’t hear her. He feared for his life. What if she were some alien? What if she had a knife?!

KJ didn’t get it. Didn’t he want her? Stronger measures were needed. She pushed him in a corner.

He stood there prepared to fight or to flee, but something in her eyes just screamed: “Kiss me!”
He thought for a moment, yes pondered the act. What if he were wrong? He couldn’t take it back.
She’d probably hit him. Yes, nail him with her fist. But for kisses from KJ - it was worth any risk.

So gently and slowly, he tilted his head his lips touched hers softly and here’s what she said:
It’s about damn time! Explain why you faltered. But first, kiss me again. And that is an order!
