as the sun began to set and the skies darkened with the fall of light
contemplative became the tone, what dreams would know ones sleep to delight?

would sleep be restful with Aphrodite's fertile blessing
a willing surrender to erotic dreamy shores acquiescing?

would it a difference make should the Roman love goddess
with her hand my dreams stir...she who be called Venus?

what matter it, what her name may be
the flight of fertile thoughts in dreams set free,
by mythical powers legendary and alluring
my desire to slip into seductive sleep procuring.

goodnight.

RB.

Tonight the evening ended in company most unexpected...an imprint left, a sigh most deep... a repeat most wished.
