What Color Is Venus

Is destiny to be distant? Are other stars existent inside of her heart and wine? Is she really solitary out here, or does another glow brighter than mine? Am I to remain, can I even sustain? Will the soul go unanswered? Is the reception as an admirer, acquaintance, ally or supporter? Will this cacoethes go unrequited? Am I being honorable by the window at the table? What should I regard in these fields by this flower? Is no good to begrudge this hour, I can fade, evanesce or wither.     by Gary Hodges
