Venus

Beautiful is her heart of passion, 

Of which I am condemned. 

Fiery tongues of lies and illusions, 

To my fate, I have descend. 

She burns as my promises turned to ashes, 

And my kisses turned to dust.

Everlasting love devoid of grudges, 

Even as I differ love from lust.  

Her innocence I have tampered, 

So I bury my face in shame. 

Even then, her soul I've not angered, 

Though I've set her whole aflame. 

I gave her fire, and left her empty, 

But still her heart is clear and pure. 

She is a Venus, and I'm not worthy, 

So my love I must obscure. 

Still here I am, admiring Venus - 

Who was so near but now so far. 

And I know my crimes are heinous, 

But I can't live to be apart.
