Venus Poem by Danny Speicher

Venus, you fickle harlot of the night
Shining high and bright in the southern sky
Wistfully catching my averted eye
Reminding me of love lost with wares bright

Venus, you fickle harlot of the night
Tease me with your charms as you did before
As you shone on the one that I adore
Providing her and I dusk's only light

Venus, you fickle harlot of the night
Coming for a time and going again
Just a year ago you watched love begin
Just a year ago, we gazed at your sight

Venus, you fickle harlot of the night
Perhaps your wary ways will shine on me
As once before you did above oak trees
I long to share with another your light

Venus, you fickle harlot of the night
In another love your passion ignite
