Will She Draw Him To Her Light
She wanders in darkest Night
Bathed in incandescent Light
Her pathway is all aglow
His dwelling lies in Shadow
A gentle rustling he hears
He is consumed by his fears
Beyond, he sees dazzling Light
This lone dweller of the Night
As he peers betwixt the trees
He knows not that she sees
She undresses there with grace
Her beauty lights up his face
Is this moment but a dream?
True to life her presence seems
The Shadows slowly recede
He is consumed by his need
As she turns, she “sees” him there
Eyes peek through her jet black hair
“Come to me,” is in her smile
Yet he lingers for a while
Her love will not be detained
Luscious lips are cherry stained
Hazel eyes are all aflame
He hears her call out his name
Her voice is a tender stream
Much sweeter than any dream
Her curves fill him with delight
He drinks in the wondrous sight
She beckons him with her hand
A goddess on earthen stand
Oh, how his soul longs for Light
But all he knows is the Night
Her steps are a dulcet chime
He is seeing the sublime
Transfixed, yet he crouches low
His shame she must never know
Her breasts level with his face
She draws his hands up to trace
His poor heart begins to pound
In that place, no other sound
She stoops low for him to taste
His hands wrap around her waist
He caresses silken skin
Flowing hair curtains him in
She murmurs sounds, oh, so sweet
As his mouth takes in each treat
He cannot reign in his greed
As her breasts his hunger feed
She lets out contented sigh
His hand moves down to her thigh
Then he lowers her to him
In her liquid depth to swim
Darkness hovers over Light
He savors her with delight
She submits to his strong will
Thus his empty heart to fill
Her whispered moans drive him on
Acquiescence he has won
As he thrusts into her frame
From her lips burst out his name
He feels her essence pulsate
For waves of light emanate
Their release, the tension breaks
They lie still in passion’s wake
On her breast he falls asleep
He does not know that she weeps
When he wakes she will be gone
For to Light she does belong

I chose the Leaving on a Jet Plane because it speaks of love not being enough to stop the longing in someone's heart to travel. Here, though LIGHT wants to draw Darkness into her world, she knows that Light and Darkness cannot coexist as they are from different worlds. Light might come back to him again, just as the singer promises to return to his love on a permanent basis ("wedding ring"), but we are left to wonder.
