Illuminated goddess of the radiant night <br />Bathe me gently in your soothing dim light <br />Brighten the dark; erode the vile spawn <br />Dazzlingly resplendent against the morrows dawn <br /> <br />Shining face perched in quiescent splendor over land and ocean <br />Endowed with power to invoke a tide of emotion <br />Now lunation has arrived i grow mawkish and pale <br />Retire my celestial love behind your dark, painted veil <br /> <br />Led through the blistering black night by lonelinesses callused clutch <br />Ensanguine drenched dreams imprisoned within societies hutch <br />To be once again cradled amidst thine comforting, luminary embrace <br />Is my lugubrious laden hearts only true appetence and grace...<br /><br />Mark Crane<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/illuminated-goddess-of-the-night/
