reluctant lover

careening secluded in
camouflaged fields of paradise
reposing behind layered veils
of reflection
she hears a whisper

a rogue voice amidst ruby twilight
breathing her name
on astral Aquarian winds

she senses
satyrical pools of an
obsidian heart
riven by
accursed insomnolence

driven by carnal virility
ravenous with desire
her hunger for love
accesses portaled entrance

Venus relinquishes
its goddess to
whispered waves
chanting to rhythms
of a wanton heart

she quickens
languid breathing
with her murmurs
and stirs masculinity
with a touch of
her essence

yielding firm body
she seduces the life
force from throbbing loins
releasing love's affliction
siren inhales
reptilians winter wings

love
now useless for a dark
star banished
from a world
of perfect harmony
yet
Venus knows
the beauty
of its pain
