Venus

Venus

L ifted, on friendship’s wings,
I sail across troubled waters;
V anqiushed sorrows no longer lay captive,
E ntwined forever, in my tortured soul.
L yrics, your heart sings to me
A rise from the ashes 
U nder the clouds, to set me free.
G azing upon my new
H orizon, happiness I thought was
L ost, blooms brilliant, like birds
O f paradise, everywhere I look.
V enus, together, we will travel
E ternity, forever        in love.
