I wrote this poem. Venus, known as Aphrodite to the Greeks, was the Roman goddess of love. She is frequently mentioned in Medieval literature.
Oh Venus, your hair is made of golden leaves,
you are always in my daily dreams,
your sight is always good and graceful,
your presence is always calm and peaceful,
the sunshine is but your shadow,
compared to you, all else is shallow,
dear goddess of love, you have enchanted me,
from your powers, I do not desire to be free.
Josh, you have a bright future as a writer, theologian, and poet!

DeleteVery good. I especially like the lines : the sunshine is but your shadow and from your powers, I do not desire to be free. Sunshine, shadows, powers are all very strong words.
