Goddess of Illusion
You sit so proud, within your shroud
velvet splendour, you draw a crowd
ivory skin, hair of raven
the dark of night is your haven
Shadows lurk within your realm
faithful servants man the helm
midnight strikes, you come alive
to quench your thirst, you must revive
On hallow ground, you do retreat
your icy stare, you taste the sweet
a liquid feast, you do aspire
before sun up, you shall retire.
