Her Company

Somewhere on the horizon when the day retires The dusk slides up in dark attire In the courtyard of my thoughts Someone lights a lamp to refill my desire. Without a reason my breath becomes heavy My eyes well up sharing space with empty Then with a flutter, moving like a dove Someone touches me, Is it you my love? The moon now looks at me awkwardly Bathing me in her sympathy I sigh as I soak her in completely My heart now grateful for her company. 21.2.2021 Sponsor:Brian Strand Contest:All Yours Feb 24(First Place)
