kiss the dawn

 
tender is the night who stole my breath  
delicate notes of love  
captured in an exhale  
 
the night was enraptured by my light  
he sought to keep me for his own  
knowing how to pleasure a woman  
I fell for his charm  
 
I danced on moonbeams  
as stars fell from his hair  
he touched me gently  
stirring a passion deep within  
 
he whispered  
"I hold a piece of your heart  
I've claimed you for my own  
you name is now Lady Dark"  
 
"the great light within you  
gifts others with visions  
I will they be blind to you  
lest they steal you from me"  
 
inside the night's embrace  
I was well hidden  
standing in his shadow  
so that none would see me  
 
soon my light began to fade  
and the sun in me  
it now paled to the moon who outshone  
 
my gentle knight was a soul thief  
my eyes finally opened  
when the dawn came to my aid  
 
saying  
"come home child of the day  
you are needed"  
 
"shine your light so all will see  
the truth rises on your heart as the sun does"
