Darkness cups my elbows
and nestles into my thighs
like a lover.
I part my lips
in daylight innocence,
giving myself away.
This twilight meeting
is my coronation;
adorning midnight’s mantle.
I become
a consort of the moon;
silver, shrouded in shadow,
my skin, howling with lust
as I’m kissed by the stars.
I come as dying light
and never ending night.
I am the queen
of your darkness;
and the fear you hold
becomes the smouldering
jewels in my crown.

Loved it. I liked the dark imagery and flow. Made it kind of spooky while also seeming empowering.
