As she lured me into the act

of blushful perceiving

Knowingly guiding my eyes

to elate my confident look

Trapped me into an illusion

withholding me from breathing

Making me feel the guilty one

That secret glimpse was all it took

As she stood up and walked away

turned her head and smiled

My mind got pinned into a fantasy

nailed down lacking any braveness

Imagining Moses splitting the sea

forced to join the ones that were exiled

When she walks out of sight, I realize

there probably are no oceans on Venus.
