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"!

Ahhh, I forgot about that movie. Thanks Sheila.

you can talk about the duality of man all you want but women......well, they are just different beings altogether. this was fun to read and an excellent testament to the roles a woman plays, chosen or not.

[Frieda P]

Thank goodness, how boring otherwise hon ;-)
Thanks!

A scary woman indeed! I wonder where her soul goes in the day? I love the idea of a double life/ personality.

[Frieda P]

Starbucks probably ;-)
