Astrological Dilemma

Astrological Dilemma (The Virgin to the Bull)
---- Big Frank Dickinson

Summer stretches perpetually between us;
You on the horns of your dilemma
And me hovering on wings of adaptability;
An angel of persistence aching to receive

Your warm venereal breath lisping
Insistently of lingering silk.
Me - ruled by Mercury; oh so mutable;
You by Venus and the breeze of love.

Some say that it is Ceres, the goddess of growth
That truly rules us both, but in that case
Why such a long cold winter?
How long can the sun withhold its rays?

Bring the half-cup of your flowering horns
To this angel on the lam, wings still spread.
Be my yin, the fecund earth beneath me,
And I will be your coming summer sleep.
