Venus on Earth

 VENUS ON EARTH

I could never understand how this life works

Here, there is but a feeling that is beyond slumber

I could leave my thoughts to mother Earth and her large breasts

More than twenty-four hours, yet my mind lives in wonder

 

Never had I thought I could ever find you –

The map was stolen; the scale was broken, then my heart too

Three tools that never remain hidden: The sun, the moon, and the truth

But there is a fourth tool; the sound and letter ‘u’

 

You are stuck between the letters ‘t’ and ‘v’

It is more evident that you are a stunner

I was curious about the package you would be

You were very strict because I did not matter

 

Many days have grayed; years might, soon

You were only a dream, but these eyes do not deceive me

Do I deserve your sweet, singing voice, and your smooth groove?

Beauty may lie in the eyes, but every part of my body can feel you

 

I remember the first day; while the sky felt darker

I had a halo over my head, until I birthed imperfection

Your interest in me was ghost so I paid to try harder

I killed the second day, but it sought resurrection

 

The third day was very refreshing; the fourth was Eden

Until this life became a sea with tidal waves

Then the odds never seemed to get even

The feeling is perpetual; a sacrifice had to be made

 

Your beauty is very bright; it could swallow a lighted match

And all that seems blind to others, seems fair to me

You are very luxurious; a golden patch

So all that seems old to others, seems rich to me

 

I love all that you say about me; I hope you love my mousy ears

You truly profess love for my intelligence, but in you I have loved a genius

If I may be fortunate to live in your heart over these years

Then I am the only concurrent resident; I live both in Earth and in Venus
