I stared into the gaze of Venus
as she followed the shadow moon
into the fire of my eyes
I felt her voice calm
over the rush of the sea
as she curled into the mist
tears for my return
I stood before her vastness
in awe of her lunar verse
the poetry of her heart
and my own
in eternal rhythm
and as the night curved around me
the wind brushed my soul
this adventure of promise
guided by a patient star
I trace the map of my heart
my journey beyond fate
I still the night above
at this edge of sea and far
to tend and move near
the warmth of this
fire of our love
