The Darkness of Night

A dark night knows no bounds.
It waits and hungers for light.
The moon, a gracefully dangling orb.

A whisper of sound interrupts the air.
Two lovers round the curve of path.
The moon illuminates their smiles.

A gentle breeze flows freely by.
It brings a respite from the warmth.
The two lovers, unaware, draw closer.

The darkness waits with daring.
It brings the two lovers closer.
Two halves brought together by night.

The moon caresses the lovers’ skin.
It shines with approval upon them.
The lovers turn toward one other,
Their breath mingles as one.

The dark night knows love.
It waits with anticipation.
It’s romantic heart beats with joy.

The Fearful

The babe who fears drowning,
will first learn to swim
before diving into the waters
of life.
