Sotto Poet Poet Rhyme

Twilight Faded Lover

Written: September 11, 2025, for contest by Line Gauthier

             **********

The moon once flourished in twilight’s tender grace,
a lover shrouded in a soft, enchanting embrace.
The stars, as promises, sparkled upon her skin—
each twinkle whispering of what might have been.
She swayed with the night, then chose to depart—
a fleeting brilliance at the dawn, gentle heart.
