The Thief and Divinity

"And to those Spirits that beckon 
me, doeth wisdom unto him."

As the night awoke from its 
slumber, 
the moon 
reflected a dull glow.  
The thief's testimony
spoken.

The romance had ended, 
love's glimmer lost, 
like ancient civilizations.  
The lost maiden's 
heart, 
broken.

Weeping cries of despair 
echoed throughout the night, 
like faeries,
ill-begotten.  
Alchemy's desperation.

"Seduce my soul with your essence,
fancy my pleasures 
with your tempestuous acts of lust 
and yearnful wanton.  
Take me to a new zenith,
 of ecstasy, delight me,
 with your cosmic love, 
and inspiring creativity."

The thief, thinking vehemently, 
like the roaring winds 
of a harsh storm.
Crashing, 
daunting, 
jaunts of frustration.

"Taketh from me, my life, and
what is, so ever-precious to me.
Taketh from you death, everlasting
life, you'll see," the thief, 
softly versed.

Feelings arose within the mistress maiden.
The dimlit dusk of evening,
the faeries of the forest willfully
swayed with the sagging treetops, 
as always.  
As the night moved on, 
Death would be approaching -
The Death of Renewal.  
A spiral 
of chaos, 
beckoning,
sheer agony.  
Direction is found, 
time is restored,
the phantasm sways and ripples 
with each pulsation the stars emit.

As the night, 
still approaching 
with a hunter's prowess,
opened up,
like a mother,
to her child's embrace.

Suddenly. . . 
Venus cried out, 
shining,
a most vibrant array.

May we, consider
for a moment, 
spectral thief 
and mistress maiden, 
these abstract perils 
of a ferocious Satan.

Retaliation came
from the supernatural duo.  
So softly they replied. . .

The love that was made 
was with
the deepest passions, 
neither faulted.
In full bloom, 
a blossoming 
yellow rose hearkened,
a new day, 
the Sun exalted.
