"Venus Urania"
by Jeph Johnson
VENUS URANIA
Part One
I have a beautiful woman
Living inside my head.
This girl makes me do things
I only want to do to her.
This woman is a goddess
Right there for me to have
But she won't come out of my head
Into reality.
She has blonde hair,
This lovely brunette,
Sometimes it's red
And on strange nights it's blue-
Just like her brown eyes,
So big with that green hue.
Her body won't quit
But I don't know what to do with it...
Dwelling inside my mind.
She dances to my music
Swaying her body within my reach
She kisses with a passion
When we roll on the beach.
She'll go however far
As she loves me like a star
Walking so fast
Or running so slow
I'm trying to grasp
And never let go
So short and petite,
So tall and long-legged
So loving and sweet,
All in my head.
Someday we'll have that affair,
Do it all together
It doesn't matter where,
Just wherever.
We'll make a start
Somewhere instead
Me in her heart
And her in my head.

VENUS URANIA
Part Two
Venus Urania; my muse
Increasing pain the more I lose...
The more I long the more I anger,
The wait 'til dawn becomes a stranger,
Strange and yet somehow familiar.
The wait has eyes that stare like stone
Accusatorial in tone.
The wait is with me as I gaze
Upon the calendar of days
That pass before me without her
Venus Urania; my cure.
