Venus and her love for the sun

I find myself so far away from you but burning for your warmth like a bonfire 

While others are three times colder, they don't know what it's like to catch fire for you 

And I burn and burn again if you look at me 

I destroy myself for your touch, for your hand, for you, for thee 

I burn at all hours and your name is reflected in everything I do, in everything I am 

I'm afraid of being alone, but nothing can live inside me, nothing but what is yours, the sacramental lamb.

Mercury has you in his hands 

Mercury is the one who holds you closest to him 

Mercury is the one who doesn't catch fire for you 

Everyone dances around you 

Who wouldn't do it 

Who would we be without your warmth 

You are the center of everything we know and everything that matters 

The moon and her hunters will never be able to suffer from heliophilia 

while I have suffered it every day of my life with every sigh I take, with every beat of my heart 

every time I breathe I drown in your warmth, you leave me breathless, on a path without direction that takes me to what could be and what will never be, to hold your hand

It is the only thing I have known and it is the only thing I want to experience for the rest of my existence, its home

This is so beautiful! Also very refreshing. I see so many love poems about the sun and the moon, that this was a pleasant surprise, a reminder to look at things differently.
