Moongoddess

The moon, she shines brightly tonight and in her luminescence I spy a sultry silhouette approaching me. The wind kisses her cheek, teasing her hair making it seem alive, dancing in the moonlight. The scent of gardenia and musk tantalizes my nostrils drawing me by my lustful intentions to stare to the point of gawking. This goddess of the night demands my attention with her mere presence, and as she steps out of a night shadow her full beauty confronts me, laying my endarkened heart open causing it to beat. I don’t know what I’ve done to deserve seeing her but I hope I keep doing it, and as she looks upon me it’s almost as if I can feel her claws running over my body causing me to shiver. She is close enough now that I can see the moon reflected in her dark eyes and it feels like I haven’t moved in years for I fear if I do she may dissolve like a mirage, and my fears become reality, for as she draws within reach she dissipates in the headlights of a passing car.
