The Night Mistress
Betray me?
This Mistress of darkness sees your worth!
Patronizing what can not be seen,
acting upon pathetic grounds.
She can see through your voice of pleasure,
witnessing the field of bitterness you hold in.
Betray yourself?
That is possible in her eyes.
She is just a side moment of ecstasy-
never to be the main current of bells.
Like a hole in a center surface,
she gathers her drops of rain and avoids the agony.
Betray herself?
It is she who sits on the ledge,
hoping to be the thought of the waken lay-
instead she's under the disrupting dark pools of her life.
