One Shot Wednesday

essence of night
found within
the darkness
of your absence
i take the moon
as my lover
and whisper your name
when his light
touches my skin

  5. At Night time when found without a lover
    Exchanged with moon through window shudders
    when it touches my skin I moan and shudder
    At night when I'm found without my lover

  10. Sensual moment of loneliness. I do poetry for fun rather than publication so for this week only, I’ve nervously posted an example from each of my blogs: an Elegy from Scribbles and Diversions, a Gogyohka from Random Twitter Stories, and free verse poem from Random Short Stories.
