Spirit of the Night

Spirit of the Night

Spirit of the night
From whence do you come
You’re just out of sight
Yet often seen by some

Spirit of the night
Do you mean harm to me
Are you the fright
That we suppose you to be

Spirit of the night
Among the shadows you dance
Just out of the light
Causing shivers at every glance

Spirit of the night
Lovers lane is an eerie place
If the moon’s not bright
Enough to see your face

Spirit of the night
Do you wish to do us harm
Are you wet from the bight
And does that add to your charm

Spirit of the night
Where are you during the day
Your charm is quite
Enticing in some odd way.

    Hey, DaddyJean! This is beautiful! Just lovely, and so personal and revealing--reflective, of you! You have a glowing spirit, and I know this. Might I direct you to "Caress," which I believe you will enjoy as it is right on with this write here. I've seen many a "spirit of the night," and of the day! Just know I love you! Let me know when your package arrives. I hope it brings a smile to your face!--Kel

    Thank you dear princess Rose. I did write a novel a few years ago. Nobody wanted to take a chance on an unknown so I decided to forget the publishing bit. Can't afford it myself. LOL. How ar you doing? Did the pump thing work? Loveya, jean
