David Bose Poet Blitz

Venus Before Roses

Shine all night
Shine Venus
Venus in orbit
Venus a goddess
Goddess to Caesar
Goddess of beauty
Beauty a treasure
Beauty attracts
Attracts roaming eyes
Attracts a young man
Man asks for date
Man slyly glancing
Glancing down cleavage
Glancing at legs
Legs slim and shapely
Legs gracing skirt
Skirt a temptation
Skirt not a toga
Toga clad Romans
Toga shed trysting
Trysting in Forum
Trysting for Cupid
Cupid of Venus
Cupid spews arrows
Arrows pierce hearts
Arrows bind couple
Couple falls petting
Couple soft whispers
Whispers all night
Whispers of love
Love on the sofa
Love shining bright
Bright as old Venus
Bright smiling bride
Bride marches aisle
Bride dressed in white
White frilly undies
White linen bed
Bed for two wed
Bed hosting love
Love all their lives
Love a great gift
Gift Venus granted
Gift for a Valentine
Valentine candy
Valentine roses
Roses mean love
Roses so splendid
Splendid …
Love …
