Venus bowed her head in shame
When Adonis asked me to name
The most beautiful woman in the world
I told him truthfully that it was you
So he nodded as he knew that was true
On that night I proposed to you
The moon seemed to be so blue
When she covered her face jealously
As you alone shone so shiny bright
And thousands of stars twinkled with delight
Nightingale sang sweet songs of love
A lone owl hooted from above
Then all was still as you answered "Yes"
Thunderous applause as the world now did sing
As on your finger I placed a gold ring

Robin, the way you write these beautiful love poems, it probably isn't hyperbole at all, but what you truly felt! Enjoyed this one!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful golden picture you paint of that time when the whole earth did sing. How lovely.
ReplyDeleteNature and gods can be so in sympathy that it's like music with a great harmony!
ReplyDeleteHad to look up Adonis, but blame that on my education and bad memory. Brings back a great memory.
