Flame of Venus

Tale of desire and captivation That turned to doze of deep devotion She was a spark - my fervent passion For when she’s near, I felt a friction It was a day I miss, so true I was sixteen, she was thirty two Her gaze was like a kiss of snow But her charm made my heart glow I was so young, she was old But my fondness for her was gold Even though she was so frigid My love for her was keen and rigid Like a love in lightning motion Sparked by drowse of rousing potion A forbidden flame, hidden from sight Sparked the glow of love, unright Her eyes were like the light of dawn Her frown made my craving spawn Like a delight riddled with kiss Her glance for me was rain of bliss Her voice was like a rhapsody That rang like heaven’s melody She was a nature’s harmony She’s both a song and symphony Her beauty was a poetry That dozed me to serenity The flames of her sweet memory Spark me till eternity October 10, 2022 Captivation Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Julia Ward
