The Plea
Mother Night, embrace me
With consummate darkness.
Wrap me in your womb of velvety illusion.
Release your compassions to a soul lost of love.
Entwined in deep shadows, trapped in ebony's caress,
No more dare I feel warmth from sweet earth and the sun,
No rainbows, no sparrows, no fair light from above.
The Vow
Mother Night, consume me
And never will I flee.
If your lips taste my throat, I know I shall fly!
I will lay waste my heart to cast blood to your moon.
The wise wolves of your forests will worship with me.
In the blink and the flash of a butterfly's eye,
My life, my soul, my mind will be in yours soon.
The Submission
Mother Night, comfort me.
Dispell the sands of time
Where no flesh of man - beast is dry - ravaged again.
Release me forever to your infinite stars.
Dark ravens, in holy choir, will sing out the rhyme
To raise your cool waters for this daughter of Cain.
Let the stars be my path and my palace, be Mars.
Interesting style and format. It really does wonders for your work. It may be my favorite because it supports your personality trait of being unique, free, beautiful, bold, and brilliant.

Very broad in its feeling of openess to what is often used in a negative way: The Night. Shows capacity for change, willingness to accept a larger design. Esp. liked the lines about worshiping with the wolves.
