The birth of Venus, and of love
the birth of beauty from above
the age of reason and desire
Borne upon eternal fire
This no birth, but solace sought
for suffering and mankind lost
the lonely quenched, from pain of self
The ego now in splendid wealth
Adam bred this grand ideal
not Botticelli as revealed
suffering, he split to birth
not Eve alone, but so much worse
For solitude could easy breed
the creature void of Eros seed
yet man chose not companion there
but ruin by lust and beauty fair..
