Goddess

peto

She hovers over hallowed ground 

Creates the most delightful sound 

Runs with the fox hunts with the hound 

The goddess of the night 

 

A heart as cold as arctic ice 

Thaws every time she takes a slice 

Her virtue doubles as her vice 

The goddess of the night 

 

The power to bring giants to their knees 

Unlocking hearts with master keys 

Her hug disguised her fatal squeeze 

The goddess of the night 

 

A juggernaut of wit and charm 

When reapers took her by the arm

Was they who wound up at the farm 

The goddess of the night 

 

She's out there now still standing tall 

With scissors for your paper wall

Deciding when you're due a call

The goddess of the night

        Beware the goddess of the night, there's no delight.
        She'll take your soul into the night, then she's out of sight.

          Your poem "Goddess" explores the duality of a powerful female figure who embodies both nurturing and destructive qualities. The "goddess of the night" symbolizes mystery, allure, and danger, portraying themes of femininity, power, and the complexities of human emotions. The goddess captivates and enchants those around her, yet her coldness and the potential for harm suggest a darker side to her charm.
