Moonlight

Every single night, I take my time to behold

The moon as it shines down on me,

And all that surrounds me, as it should be.

Though I feel there are things I have left untold;

And I shall apologize for making claims so bold,

But I mean it when I say that you have me

Right under your spell, somehow,

Oh, you beautiful maiden of the bow.

I can't help but see your figure

In the corner of my eyes from time to time

And desire you,

Goddess of the hunt and chastity.

I know this might not rhyme,

But I must say, I'm genuinely in love with you.

Though it's true I wish to follow your path;

Never marry and always carry on,

Always on my own.

I can't help but feel your gentle and loving

Embrace in my every moon bath,

And as a result, my goddess, I surrender to love.

I honor you as I honor many other deities,

But there's something special about you that I seek

Beyond your beauty, beyond your intellect.

You're perfect; in your presence, I feel weak

On the knees, like many of your devotees.

Oh, I wish you could hear

The words I write in your name.

I love you, dear Artemis.

And I dare claim to the seven winds, my goddess,

That my love for you is no game.
