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.
