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.
