Mistress of the dark

in this poem "Mistress"= the embodiment of all carnal thoughts and thoughts of marital infidelity that invade a man's fantasy's during the dark hours of night

Oh Mistress, with thy idea's of illicit kisses
thou fill my heart with lust, a beat it misses.
My flesh is weak, but my mind I command
Begone, Begone, for I wear a wedded band.

Oh Mistress of the dark, thy charm I oppose
flee from me with thy tendered pink rose.
A wedded heart does not here stand alone
Begone, Begone, fore the day is full grown.

Oh Mistress. thou shall not seduce my soul
for I behold thy eye's of smoldering coal.
From dark and primal shadows thou stream
Begone, Begone, from my eventide dream. 

Oh Mistress thou linger in the "Witching Hour"
under the guise of true love do thou cower.
I spur thy promise's of passionate delight
Begone, Begone, from these hours of night.

Oh Mistress I shall not fall under thy spell
my true "Nightingale's" trust I will not sell.
My promise, my vow, from it I shall not sway
Begone, Begone, now arrives a new day.

Oh Angel of light, come join the battle with me
we'll rewrite the script of this "Tragic Comedy"
Lay bare my "Mistress" with thy holy flame
Come. Come, give rise to a new days name.

Oh Angel of light, burning with thy inner fire
to ashe's we'll consign my corrupted desire.
Banish the shadows from hence evil did spew
Come, Come, we'll drink a new dawns dew.

For my "Angel of Light" my wife.
