madness

she is magic and midnight lace

tossing
turning

tortured in the night by the yearning for her lover

she weaves dreams of seduction in her madness

as the fire burns relentlessly in her loins

she
 envisioning his presence

reaching out across the ether to touch her ghostly lover

inviting him to her bed 
her arms
casting her spell

seducing him with her hunger

honoring Nanaya

paying homage to Rati

becoming the goddess incarnate

dawn comes and she awakens
remembering the night

the visions

the passion

the pleasure

reaching for him across an empty bed

only to be left questioning what is real
