Venus' Wish List

I want the sun Served on a dish of silver and gold Carved by the skilled hands of Hephaestus. Pick up Mount Olympus Place it down at my feet Adore me in all heavenly glory. Take all the sea salts to powder my hair Make the lilies not die at night Take the perfume of the roses and make it mine. Scoop all the stars from the night sky Embroider them on a dress of gentle silk Give it to me with slippers made of glass. Make all creation sing to me birds, sea, creatures and legendary beings Give all of this to me in exchange for my love.

Maybe Venus drank too much ambrosia and ended up losing her mind, still, no matter how impossible her wishes are they weave an exquisite tapestry:) Amitiés
