Night of Mystery

The sun was rather hasty-- I might go so far as this; Because of it, that starry night, Concluded with a kiss. And for its misplaced manners-- Its intrusion, if you will; I have hung the darkest curtains Just above the window sill. But should the sun allow it-- One long night of mystery; I'd pull the curtains down, and smile For the possibility!

mystery eh... is this suppose to be as intimate as i think it is? maybe it is just how my mind works, but my mind did not think this a clean innocent poem. :-P

Lovely write, Mel. I like the last line of the first stanza. Glad the sun gave you that moment of sheer bliss. Thanks for your visit to my work. Welcome.
