Dark night surrounds her,
Moons gaze down.
Hard stone and step.
Homeward bound,
Alone in blackness.

Eyes scan her,
From the shadow.
Ancient demon or,
Forever's angel.
Its stare licks at her,
As she quickens her pace.
Her heart pounds,
Fear behind.

Its dark eyes appear.
Figure dark comes near.
So begins her trance,
His hands weave and dance.
Emotionless joy,
Laugh so silent.
Her mind cannot fight,
And fears the coming light.
