Night's Mistress

          
the night wind down      
its heartbeat slowed      
in rhythm with mine...      
     
we danced like two desperate lovers
it would be our last...      
we knew it would never be again      
so we held each other tightly      
     
two bodies, one old soul...      
brought together before the first dawn      
the stars witness our union in the heavens      
they cry bitter tears our lust,      
love affair was coming to an end      
     
the early morning light would see to that      
her jealousy over my female flesh      
so much as a Goddess in mortal form      
     
she bats her glittered lashes at the dark      
he turns his back on her...      
     
and holds me closer      
a lover with all hell on his heels  
a scorned morrow...she haunts his steps      
     
angry he carouses...with ones like me
ladies of the evening...in our arms satisfied      
     
darkness greed is ravenous...      
pleasure in my pain      
his rage tenderness...      
raining down upon my skin      
I bear it all for my lover...      
     
shining universes in his eyes      
take me in... take every inch of me in
so he will always remember...      
     
salvation once was a woman      
called sin...
