Eventide Hunger

Sun sets in medallion and tangerine, clouds embrace eventide as it ascends. God’s perpetual annum sets the scene, this perfect image of heaven transcends. As the ivory glazed moon starts to rise, my lover rests his head on my shoulder. He takes my nape and looks in my doe eyes, I hear his thoughts, “I just want to hold her”. So we erase the day and seize the night, not knowing of sleep but of affection. Under the stardust we fell in delight, since then we’ve shared a tender connection. I never knew hunger ‘til he nourished- a long night of passion where love flourished. Date written: August 22, 2018
