Venus In Love

Venus in love
alluring and enduring
brightest light in sky
has eyes only for Adonis
who is the handsome
hunter of the woods,
she disguises as Diana,
goddess of the hunt,
helping Adonis with
his enjoyment of stalking
and killing animals
until the love of her life
dies by the wrath of a boar,
ending to a twisted tale
of manipulated lust.
