allured by the night

The night  was icy    but I didn’t care
I walked  the streets  forsaken and alone
As violent winds blew   my vision went bare
For my direction was  no longer  known
With numb fingers I tried  to wipe my eyes
Took shelter under  an awning   with light
An image appeared    in feminine guise
With piercing green eyes that soothed my blurred sight
I asked her name and where  she was from
She continued to gaze, silent,  and stout
As I moved closer my heart had succumb
Suddenly, releasing    a shrieking shout
Grew thin wings like a bat     then flew away
Night lust,  a mere enemy,  of the day.
