Daughter of the Moon

She comes out at night
     Silently like the moon and 
stars
   If you are wondering 
where she goes during the day
   You'll receive no answer from her
She is a stealthly beauty 
   Whose eyes glimmer in the moonlight
The daughter of the moon is
    awaiting her lover
   Who will arrive during the next eclipse 
Her long hair 
    glows in the shadows 
As she awaits her destiny 
  She moves like 
the wind rustling leaves in the forest 
   She is sweet to the touch, to the taste
   Watch this unearthly 
beauty 
As she dances her lunar dance
Deep in the night
   She becomes joy personified

Their is something wonderfully sexual about this piece, yet the Daughter of the Moon moves withdrawn. Love, daver
