NIGHT GODDESS





Night Goddess, throughout the night,

dancing on moonlight whispers

as silver as promises made,

but never kept.

Night Goddess, of the night,

your slender body moves in

harmony as your siren lips

enjoy the music you make.

Night Goddess, within the night,

eclipsed by the celestial

shadows of love which no

man will ever take.

For you are the Night Goddess.

Your kingdom is a nocturnal

rhapsody of cascading melodies.

Love will always come your way

by the beauty you cast out, dangling

it on a string, and you do not care.



Night Goddess, teaser of the night,

Laughing after a passionate kiss,

saying "I'll never be caught."

Then you are.

Night Goddess, Lover of the night,

Taking love in like an old

dream that never comes true ,

at least for you.

Night Goddess, Slayer of the night,

you leave your empty words

with the dawn for old cliche's,

broken hearts, and lost souls.

They are sown behind you like

bitter-sweet memories.

Gone in the sun, by the beauty you

cast out.

There is no paradise.

You are only a Goddess of the night.

The Night Goddess.
