Earth to fall for Venus’s charms
Independent Online (South Africa), 5 June 2012
She sparkles like champagne in firelight, her crescent eyes
refracting the sunset as she beckons you in towards
the underside of indigo, beyond the silk sheet horizon
while vespers are spoken.
Her radiance is undimmed by heaven’s creeping blushes
and you know she will consume you if the morning fly-trap closes
before you can desert her, so you slip out wondering when
if ever you’ll see her again.

I love it! Your poem is like PINK champagne!
ReplyDeleteThat Venus sounds a mite predatory to me. I think you did the right thing. Seriously -- I like the sensuousness. Mmmmm
