Moon Goddess

She walks when the 
moon is full
   Her face illuminated 
by moon - light
  She cannot bear the 
light of day
   She comes alive only at night
  Moon Goddess that she is
   She knows about 
the darker path
   One dream away from 
     oblivion
She haunts the fields and
  small villages of our land
Let's not forget that we 
are mortal 
   But the lunar lady is not
    She glows under the 
light at night
  Waits for her demon lover
 To embrace her
Before bitter sunrise 
  shatters the myths 
of night
    and she must hide 
her face
  from the sunny beams 
of day

I am searching and searching and can't find a poem yet I haven't read of yours on page one. In a hurry so I'll try to start on your next page later. I still really liked this one since I enjoy writing of Goddess moon too. My childhood actually was very nice, Matthew. WE were like a dysfunctional Brady Bunch, but I loved the time with my sisters and now deceased stepbrother Dale. LUv, Andrea ps. No time for doing much other than soup and hotmail. If I ever have time, I'll check out site you said.
