Afternoon, folks. Here I am at a burger restaurant listening to Muse and I’m thinking, “Well, golly gee, I haven’t posted a poem in a while.” So here’s a tribute to my new girlfriend who happens to be pretty awesome. I hope you can see just a little bit of why she makes me so happy. Without further ado…
Venusian Hearts
Untoward advance of the midnight sun
brings unfortunate end to evening fun,
but always there, some silver lining,
before my eyes a feast for dining.
Whitened stars
beset porcelain jars
astride feelings then
so far from mars.
Venusian hearts
pierced now and again
by Venusian darts
thrown now and then.
Tapered then,
by Aphroditic design,
is beauty spared
the stroke of a pen.
Yet here and now,
does candlelight bow,
and flicker,
and bicker,
and shedding evermore its wicker,
thus illuminating elegance ever quicker.
And under sheets of a bed
does red warmth lie
beside stones and pebbles
in a river you spied.
