Venus Glows in Blue

Venus glows in blue above you and Love and Desire for your beauty

Are ablaze in my innermost being like when the wind touches coals.

Such is my spirit and so I breathe deeply in the night and gaze

At the tapestry of stars as I feel your warm embrace.

You are soft and fragrant as the gardens of Spring.

I stand on this spinning ground in the season and yet I see

No reason for this wondrous honey flow of love you give to me.

Is it perhaps because I am the man whose brown hands in the sun

Have sought to hew rocks to make a place for you to sit upon?

Is it because your soft fair hair has on my chest come to rest

When the cold winds howl and the moon’s walk is hidden by the storm?

I have with aching bones in the night come to admire

Your graceful motion when you stir the gentle fire.

I see a glow in your eyes when you gaze into mine and when

Your ruby lips kiss my flesh I feel like the embodiment of Aquarius

For I want to pour love like liquid emotion on you and toward me tug you

Like the sea will caress your hair and pull yet not tear you closer too.

Feel my hands reach for you and now breathe deeply, beautiful woman,

For we share the eternal passion forged amidst sparkling stars.

Your silky response on the edge of the deep waters is mine.

Though you shake and shiver and cry, still the silent turquoise sky

In her response to your silver sighs lets you never close your eyes.

Yes there is beauty in the morning and beauty at the sunset,

But the light in you is what I speak of in this hour.

The nectar of our love will fill your heart with joy and you to me

Are the sweetest fruit that on the Tree of Life I see.
