Lady Night

 

 

Lady Night

© 2008 by Will Northerner

 

 

 

 

She’s smooth as a sniper’s glove

True to pattern as a crack shot's aim

She keeps appointments with scrupulous care...

 

She insinuates herself in a cosmic cloak

Flickering chatoyance flared in feral eyes

Black velvet spangled in frozen diamonds

Deepest ultramarine indigo 

Dripping in nacreous globules

Roundly opalescent with tints of abyssal 

Darkness...

 

She flaunts her allure

With tidal audacity

Makes blood pump flow race phenomenally

She injects high fever in libidinous persuasions...

 

What leverage she pinions our mortality with !

 

Mother of incubus, succubus 

And all manner of slippery bugaboos...

 

Instigator of screaming yowling

Howling yips and yelps

 

Lady or Madame or W***e...

 

She dangles skeleton keys to carnal seraglios

Shields the fortune of lovers and fiends alike

With equal aplomb

 

With opaque veils

Her diaphanous breath unleashes

Myriad frissons

Up down and backside

Chakra to chakra to base 

Brain bombast

 

She is agent provocateur

Casting countless dreamscapes...

Brandishing innumerable nightmares

Tendering urges

For globe straddling 

Entrancement in somnambulistic peregrination

Galore

 

She prompts all manner 

Mayhem and romantic antics

 

An all purpose emotive enabler...

She puts the turns in nocturnes

 

Then shhhh shush shhhh!

 

She

 

Fades in chiaroscuro values

Making her exit

Slick as a vampire vamps

Death defying escape

 

Her brutish solar nemesis

Exiles her fleeting shadow

 

Decisively

 

Only...

 

Soon enough 

 

She sashays round town again

To manifest her irresistible might

 

They call her

 

Lady

 

Night

"She flaunts her allure

You are a amazing writer. The poem is so powerful and a pleasure to be able to read. So many statements came out and create some wild and good visions. Lady Night have never been described with so much detail and description. A outstanding poem. Thank you.
