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
