Venus in Pisces


Love in exaltation

She flows in Divine Romance

Her heart beats

To the rhythm of the Cosmos

She lives only

For the enchantment of the heart



Lofty aspirations

She delights as Neptune’s Muse

Her mind plays

In the seductive waters of illusion

She seeks only

To render her siren’s beckoning call



Universal empathy

She is the Alchemical Goddess

Her soul lifts

The mundane to ethereal heights

She desires only

To merge in perennial sacred love




Supreme sacrifice

She clings to her Martyr’s Heart

Her spirit longs

To explore the greater mystery

She endeavors only

To manifest the unity of all souls

Moon in Aries

Passions flare

She seeks to fill the needs

Of her indomitable will

They ignite in rapture

Scorching her mind

Uncontainable

Effeminate fire 

She fails to quell the flames

Of her turbulent heart

They burn in ecstasy

Searing her soul

Uncontrollable 

Desires appease

She attempts to cool the ardor 

Of her rapacious impulses

They simmer in reticence 

Sustaining her composure

Unpredictable

Emotions dissipate

She resolves to soothe her Self

Of her poignant maladies 

They smolder in abeyance

Pacifying her pride

Undeniable

Andrea Galluzzo, The Moon

Who is she
Smiling on the outside
Imprisoned inside
She's crying now
No one sees though
The tears falling 
Just below the surface

Who is she
Calm on the outside
Breathless inside
She's laughing now
No one hears though
The sound can't seem
To breach the surface

Who is she
Aging on the outside
Child-like inside
She's dreaming now
No one knows though
The dreams are trapped
Just under the surface

Who is she
Pretending on the outside
Conflicted inside
She's screaming now
No one is listening though
They don't see who she is 
Under the surface
