Venus

The Birth of Venus – Sandro Botticelli (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Birth_of_Venus)

I am Venus, I am born in the ocean, rising out as a goddess of love to all mankind

I am fully nude in the waves of the sea, there is nothing to be ashamed of as we are born and die fully naked

The long waves of my golden hair wraps around my body, it’s a gift from the sun to wrap the world in eternal radiance

Don’t be afraid of love, men, welcome it with open arms and take my body into your strong arms

Let your arms wrap my body, feel my white flesh on your skin.

I am here to liberate you, to welcome to you paradise

You had never known paradise till you met me.

You will experience freedom and a state of bliss, unknown to most as long you surrender your will to me.

In this euphoria, the estacasy that unfolds is far greater than any song or dance can bring to you.

Why be afraid of love, when you can have love?

Why be afraid of women, when you can have beauty?

For without beauty, what is the purpose of life?

I seek to beautify the world around me in glorious light.

Welcome to eternal heaven, for I am the goddess of your one and only heart desires.

You will find home when you give your soul to worship me.
