Blooming Venus

Blooming Venus
Space Series Poetry #2 

Gaze not upon

The velvet sky

The dwindling stars

From whence light flies

Turn not your eyes

Towards the night

The dark enveloping

Clouding sight

Behold instead

The birth of one

Immortal Goddess

Eclipsing suns

Eternal beauty

Glows within

Dark nebulae

Banished at whim

Translucent skin

Reveals her art

Of soft seduction

Rupturing hearts

Atop her head

White roses bloom

A crown of innocence

Eclipsing gloom

Those pure of mind

And pure of soul

May know her essence

Glimpse her, whole

Yet do not flatter

To deceive

Her wrath will cause

Your heart to grieve 

—Trudi Nicola
