Eldorado

Eldorado as I gazed
warily upon.  A dreary
November sky, scarlet
tears of Autumn.

A passionate Venus
glimmered brightly 
amongst the stars, granting
my soul's calling.

Begging for forgiveness,
fulfilling sorrow's blessing.
The night's mistress did 
beckon forth.

Triumph as ArchAngel
Michiel's trumpet did
sound.  A proclamation
to the star of the North.

"My lonesome friend
dare not defend,
for what you seek
is what you are."

In wild awe and 
admiration, the moon
shown in exuberation.
Dreamily as an Evening Star.

Joyful glee did exude 
from  me, as I did travel 
the world around.

Yes, my dear, if it
is of wisdom that
you speak.  The 
Treasure of Eldorado,
 for I have found.
