The Succubus

(A lone old male voice whispers to his loyal dog) She came at midnight Last night You know As the fireflies outside in our winter garden Glowed In a red dress of moving red lips that whispered of new dreams Knocking like a reborn Anne Rice Lestat At my heart's window Pleading with my soul To cross the threshold and be let in But I the stone warrior Whose dear love had already departed Turned and walked back into the darkness of my loneliness Broken-hearted For when true love once calls In your lifetime And is then suddenly recalled like a severe blow To the amygdala All one can do Is wallow in limbo For true love is like the holiest of dreams One of The Universe's best documentaries Memories Forged by Brigid to endure To be kissed And be revisited Filled with lovers and even enemies And consumed in any rare moment Like expensive Hennessey Bright white candlelights Providing light In a new darkness And a holy flame to warm any soul On any given night As it clings on to memories of all the people you once loved And all the things you used to do To ride through and hold back any new storms Or midnight visitors like that succubus last night It's why I put my faith in true love and Jesus Christ (C) Copyright John Duffy Anne Rice Lestat: A famous vampire in a novel by Anne Rice.

Cormac's Glossary, written in the 9th century by Christian monks, says that Brigid was "the goddess whom poets adored" and that she had two sisters: Brigid the healer and Brigid the smith. This suggests she may have been a triple deity. She is also thought to have some relation to the British Celtic goddess Brigantia.
