Nette Onclaud Poet Verse

Nightfall

it is nightfall when dipped sunset 
gives way to the brilliance of moonglow 
     against heaven’s trail —

an eve's framework lightly studded
in pearled dew...
birdsong humming a tender chorale 
   as orchids unfold
into warm movements of restful gasps…

until fingers wrap into prayers
     and bodies surrender 
through the nocturnal kiss of peace.
