buzz buzz buzz- -zing in my ears, an eyeful of moon It is a starless cloak tonight. I watch as the clouds roil and shift the wind picking them up and stirring them in the watery sky the wind conducts the leaves in delightful string quartet, the sound such that if I close my eyes I imagine I am beside the ocean. but i'd rather look at the clouds. they unveil a small ball of fire bright - bright - brighter almost than the moon maybe it's because it has burned my eyes with my staring my lips move in time to a wish gone to seed within me wishing... wishing that the love I bear could become the contagion that will spread from my lips to his to make him never stop kissing a step behind me carries a voice "Wow. There's Venus." Such a trifling goddess: to tempt a mortal girl higher and higher with Hope, to cajole her and woo her into Love, only to prove in the end no more than a deceiving planet. |

Is that love that you're describing? Because if it was, then you did a rather fine job in this poem, Wendy. --Chibi |

Wow, Venus, god of love, such a lovely poem, my heart's moved by your words.. you are such a imaginative female (in a good way of course) - James The beauty of nature is displayed, not through itself, but through the creatures dwelling within its bosom. |
