Night Has Fallen

Night has fallen... Time to rest our weary bones -- Through the midnight window A full moon smiles and winks Throws at us its goodnight kiss Gratitude befalls our sleepy eyes Gently to your back I press my cheek Wrap my arms around your shoulders As I listen to the rhythm of your heartbeat This comforting reassurance echoes With both our hearts in tandem A sweet tenderness that blankets us With an I love you on each delightful breath AP: 3rd place 2022 Submitted on August 18, 2022 for contest THE MEANING OF LOVE sponsored by ANOUCHEKA GANGABISSOON - RANKED 2ND on October 26, 2017 for contest MOON SPOON sponsored by KAI MICHAEL NEUMANN
