Night Queen
Silence falls in noise
movement slows down as creatures wait for her arrival
the ones that follow her soft waves of glow
like kisses that feather wet lips that still have not been quenched
urging for an open mouth that would release a moist tongue
Her breath showers like mist
pleasantly eerie; a snake wrapping around your chest
but calming you with his heartbeat conjoined to yours
She does not speak, but her eyes glare;
not wicked or demanding, but guiding and observing
they speak for her:
Praise me
Love me
Want me
Need my smile upon your back upon this gloomy lair
and let my skin glow around you within this night of dare
let my thoughts become you and ease of things that scare
for I am the sister of your mother, and I am here to care.
She doesn't utter such words, but her rhythm is already known
Her eyes stay watching as her past twinkles around her
Her smile a memory stuck on her face
For all she want is for him to join her again
but those moments are so rare
only when they dance to eclipse
that their heart will not be teared
she is the queen of this night sky kingdom
and her worshipers have given her crown
but she longs for her king, next to her empty throne...
