: Venus Rises by Gypsy Blue Rose

 
 
 
 
tangled in bright stars

she'll guide you

across the universe

 dipped in constellations

and your kindred soul
 

~€~
 

crystal drops of Jupiter

dripped down her radiant face

   and her wish upon a star hair—

she makes love to you in dreams

and her scent lingers on your bed
 

~€~
 

her shooting star gown

and Saturn rings

    shine in the sizzling sun—

veils of desire flow between your hands

dancing to the rhythm of your heart
 






 

Author Notes
"She takes just like a woman
She makes love just like a woman
And she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl" - Bob Dylan - Just Like a Woman

Gogyohka is a five-line free-style Japanese poetic form with no strict rules on syllable count but as brief as possible. Any theme. Lines are grammatically connected. Alliteration, personification, and metaphor are okay but never rhyme. Japanese poets have written gogyohka since the 1910s. However, they did not name the form until 1983 by poet Enta Kusakabe.
