Twilight Lullaby

The night’s stillness beckons her
Promising a warm lingering embrace
Doleful her heart listens captivated

Entranced by languorous mournful lyrics
Reaching deep into her soul
No louder than her heartbeat

Her brazen midnight lover bellows
Ever so quietly and seductively
His soothing enigmatic twilight lullaby
