Queen of the day moth of the night.

Fluttering tissue paper colourful painted Lady Belle of the Ball Queen of the day Shows her colours In a flirtatious exotic dance Entice the flowers To open and display their open tender hearts To her will and command As a brazen harlot who beaks the resistance Of a snared inflamed captured man Such sweet irresistible temptations Are part of her occupation By day Now she has taken She now flys away The moth takes over the next shift During the night The allured By light.

Hello Pete, you eloquently captured the dual nature of existence, from the allure of the day's queen to the mysterious enchantment of the night's moth. I loved how your imagery evokes a sense of fleeting beauty and the ever-changing roles we play in the grand theater of life. Your words show a mesmerizing portrait of the delicate balance between temptation and surrender, light and darkness. - Blessings, Daniel
