Saturn’s hatred for the Birth of Venus

Acrostic based on my love for the paintings for the Birth of Venus

By Melissa IngoldsbyPublished 2 years ago 1 min read
Birth of Venus(not my art)

essence of dampening destruction in dewy

capsules of space, her veins of gravitons

lips bruised as a star starts to break

inside a black hole, black eye

punched by a white light of Seraphim Justice

Sated, Saturn returns in a dark corner, hating

Every single brushstroke of Venus’ Birth, strives to close her out in an angry expression, eclipse that makes Venus cry

    Beautiful piece, Melissa. Well done.

  • Innana and Isis channel their way to Greece as Storm-cloaked Aphrodite and the Romans rename her Venus! She remains, in all cases, an entity all her own, does she not, an interloper to the pantheon? Such is the divinity of love! Well-wrought!

  • Oooo, so profound and poignant! Loved your Acrostic, Merly!

    Cherish the people around you because they make life worth living. Make the most of every day and live it to the fullest because we never know how much time we have left. I wish you good health, a bright future and a happy life. May you always be surrounded by love and support. 🙏🙏🙏
