Night Enigma

Mystery surrounds her every move

secrets cut a path to her door

dancing mystique of a serpent

the night vamps her desires

secrecy of a siren's enigma

she lurks through your heart

peers into your soul's eye

steals your mind in time

passion and fury engulf

ecstasy blankets her whims

men are captured in her web 

enraptured by artful lust

the morning light

transforms her 

days are simple 
chalky residue

of her fantasy

she dons her

glasses

slips into  

her flats

adjusts

her vibe

and her soul

vaporizes

The image of the woman with the mask sets the proper tone for the write which clearly shows the contrast of one who is on fire at night, and then resting in the ashes as the light of morning dawns! She becomes another as the image of the butterfly so aptly portrays!
A very interesting write which reminds me of "The Three Faces of Eve"!

[Frieda P]

Ahhh, I forgot about that movie. Thanks Sheila.

[Tarry Franck]

Exquisite :)

The public, external "us" and the private, internal "us" not only have conflicts but sometimes battle in their coexistence. An excellent write that I enjoyed reading.

[KAOlmsted]

Nice. Puts me in mind of a sexy librarian, letting her hair down, then...when it suits her...she goes back to her "disguise"...good read.

[Frieda P]

This falena, is most rich, in her essence, the way she is herself, and so utterly profound. I do admire her. even with the mask, as you seem to give her.
Why is someone with true insomnia for example mad? or why is a question born simply? it's just when it don't fits in the civil way of living, people go think out of the box, and what I love about you my lovely friend is, that you and me always are out of the f*****g box. hahaha. So true. We are not afraid of it, and just pump it to WC, honest and true. (even in fictive writes) it's just the beauty a writer can share, how it's interpret, it's their way.... lol, but we know better....

Lovely one !

What a wondrous, perplex review! ;-)

[SparrowSong]

Through cover of darkness, she can let her inhibitions down, become what she will and as the sun begins to rise, evolves back into her day self, both sides true, but I feel in this write, she may have a secret desire to be the dark self more often. I love this Frieda...

[Frieda P]

Perhaps she does, nice review, thanks so much. Means a lot to me.

[khalid]

night with its darkness is the large cover which wraps most of the things people dont like to be seen doing. my favorite singer,Um Kalthoum, has a song called Al-Atlal, for me, this is the ever best song ever sung. it tells a story about a couple staying together the whole night (which is not appropriate here if they are not married) and then..the dawn comes as if it were flames, life looked to us again boring as we have always known it, lovers started to get apart..

[Frieda P]

I'll take your word for it, since I didn't understand a word of it, lovely music though. Thanks khalid.

[khalid]

you mean you have been listening to the song?

[Frieda P]

Yes, it's playing right now! :-)

[Frieda P]

Part 2, the first has no words, but that's beautiful.

[khalid]

she is my ever favorite singer. she is the best arab singer ever came. she could sing for continuos hours without getting tired..thank you for getting intrested..

[Frieda P]

welcome kind sir, it was my pleasure actually...

[khalid]

it starts with..ya foadi la tasal ain alhawa(oh my heart never ask where love has gone) kan sarhan min khayalin fahawa( it was a building of imagination but it fell down)isqini washrab ala atlalihi(lets drink on its remains)

[Frieda P]

Really lovely, poetry to my ears.

[khalid]

im happy you liked it

[Tex]

I love that song you should translate the whole thing for us one day.

[Carolann Dowsett]

A picture of the wanton woman who leads men into sin through sexual desire. Beautifully written

[Frieda P]

Thanks Carolann, glad you liked it.

[Carolann Dowsett]

Welcome

[lee von cleef]

A vibe, a man blames the woman, but which one? The whole,morning noon and night,though John Wayne said they" where built for the night"So that is the soul,snared by the serpent,a mask of the free.

[Frieda P]

Interesting review, food for thought, thank you!

[Distant horizons]

And that, is why, us blokes just can't get enough of you lot. Women, the puzzle of a conundrum, within a jigsaw of a metaphoric question, that males will study diligently for eternity.
"woah. As a guy, I have no idea of the meaning of what I just wrote. My head is hutifying now" :-)

[Frieda P]

hahaha and you call us confusing! Thanks! ;-)
