Love In the Night

In the dark of night, under the stars 
 My lover is nestled in my arms. 
 Breathing softly, our fingers entwine- 
 I feel his love; he feels mine. 
  
In the dark of night under silvery moon 
 He wants to take me—I'll let him soon. 
Fingers like velvet touch my skin: 
This feels like heaven or glorious sin. 
  
In the dark of night, dawn drawing nigh 
I rest on his heart, and softly sigh. 
Our bodies spent with sated love, 
We blissfully dream with the stars above.

Simply put but very effective being stuck in any bubble has its challenges without adding any stimulants to sort out what may elude us on any given day. good job

I like your imaginary words you use to describe your love and the rhymes that bring it all together to resonate with your readers. Nicely done.

Thanks Jack. I generally write what I feel, and rhyming has always been my strong suit.
