Luminous Venus

Lavender moments after the sunset
Unhurried glow blends in dark of night 
Memory of the day draped in shadows
Invisible photons waltzing too bright.
Neon blues in promise of cosmic.love
Obscures an evening of nameless stars
Usurping the sky, a shining goddess
Sensuous fire chisels the path of Mars.

Vision luminous in a moonless gold sky
Enticing soft, frolicked her marcelled hair
Nuzzles her lover, they are galaxies apart  
Untethered his Venus, breaths they share.
Solemn stillness celebrates everywhere.
