My brain, like a frustrated light bulb

Is a filament, constantly in need of a current

To make it spark imagination, I flip a switch

Let it glow for hours, until at last, it burns out

Try to tap it, hoping for the light to return

For the spark to, once again, kindle my thoughts

Regeneration, as the cycle begins again

Runes glow, as she summons

He awakens to her mystique

He feels her heartbeat, thrumming

His eyes wide, wings spread, so sleek

He can hear her chanting, intone

Knows it is he, she beckons to her

She sits patiently, waiting, alone

His growl, now a low, rumbling purr

With the dragon sword, she shares fire

As she looks to the gods, high above

He moves closer, to quench his desire

She remains, expecting her one true love

Unafraid, she knows he approaches

She‘ll seduce him, with beguiling wiles

As the nighttime sky now encroaches

And the dragon, so deviously, smiles

In the silence of the night
I could hear her calling
Whispers, through the glass

In the silence of the night
I could feel her presence
As by me, she did pass

In the silence of the night
Wisps of hair, on my face
Danced, like a beautiful ballet

In the silence of the night
She had drawn me outside
And I let her take me away

They loved to call her Shadow
Blending in, with foreign sands
Dressed in black, she is darkness
Sharpened sword, held in her hand

She fights the voices, defiantly
They speak evil, to her mind
Wicked thoughts, aplenty
Still, she seeks, until she finds

Wisps of dust, twirling round her
In this place, behind the moon
She watches them create this world
Made up of endless dunes

Trapped inside the sands of time
Caught, in a lasting drought
Shadow returns to her darkness
In the valley of her doubt

Ginger hair, dressed in black

Darkness, drawn to light

She stands in silence, gazing

At the rays, that grace the night

Chancing they are moonbeams

She ventures, closer still

The night air, warm as summer

Yet, she could feel its chill

She waits, so impatiently

For a sign, to tell her why

The sunlight replaces darkness

She fears, the moon has lost the sky
