The Binding of Venus

I want to make you blush,

Watch the fire take your cheeks

In bouquets of pink and rouge.

I want to make you laugh,

To hear the joyous echo of your heart,

See the stars of your eyes in nova.

I want to know your scent,

To chase you blindfolded through the night

Lead on the tether of your perfume.

I want to hear your voice,

Sugar sweet and venom tongued;

The truth in words divinely spoken.

I want to pray,

A humble priest at his goddess’ feet,

May faith carry my words to your ears.

I want to bind you forever in color, vibrant and lush,

That I shall never forget how it felt to hold your beauty.

I want you.

And you?

What do you want?
