Dear Ishtar Queen of all the stars in the sky
I am humbled in your presence.
Did
The love god of the stars stop and speak with you last night
Did
The angry valleys of space echo in your ears
and
when you replied
with your heart beating its way to the darker side of the moon
Did you count
The number of stars in a second
The number of moonbeams in the wink of an eye
or did you feel
The loneliness of my heart
Searching for you
Amongst the stars and cosmos of that
Bowl of blackness above
Inviting the sweet of Venus
and
Finding you were present all the time
In
The depths of my heart.
