Meet me at the garden of roses
Where the crescent moon shines
Maddening scent of love in the air
Meet me there , pray at the shrine.
You'll find the blooming blue rose,
There lies the only key to my heart
Don’t get lost, mortal peril awaits
Embrace this love , it's so surreal .
Bare foot touches the damp earth,
Shredded thorns pierce you skin,
Poison ivy ensnares you to death,
That muse still haunts your dream.
Find your way to the crystal lake,
Pour your blood , dye it crimson ,
Ask the pain to take your sin away
Let it be the path of your salvation.
Red love is a sin, a desire too dark
Deep in the dark they silently lurk
Blue is the treasure I always seek
Epitome of clarity, devoid of murk.
Pray at shrine , don’t let them lure
You are the last priest of love
Never let the illusion consume .
You have felt pain, you’ll find cureEmbrace this love , it is all yours .
Strip off your pride, raw tears flow
Let go off lies, let the lovers glow .
This is a very renowned painting by Sandro Botticelli... ' The Birth of Venus '.
Botticelli has portrayed how Aphrodite (Venus in Roman ) was born from the sea foam near cyprus . Legends say that she was born when sky or Uranas was murdered by his son , Cronus . Aphrodite is the goddess of love and beauty.... which implies that love is the product of the first murder in the universe. Imagine the nature of love . As beautiful as it is , it can ruin your life in a blink .
Whenever I see this picture, I feel something different , something powerful. Cause it reminds me how helplessly we are bound to love , how no human being on earth cannot be devoid of emotions .But above all , love has a strange clarity. It makes us powerful from the very core. This regal beauty has inspired me to write this poem.
