A Threesome of Contention
Underestimated by the masses

The hours of the darkest night has always been a friend of mine,
We often stroll the waves of memories past together,
Laughing at our antics, blushing at the love received,
Soothing the pain that touches my soul, unbuckling that tether.
🌘
We lavish the time it’s just the two of us alone and free,
The music of our conversation rising and falling with the flow,
Secrets discussed in abandonment knowing we can trust,
And tears follow every morning as the sun rises and we have to let go.
🌘
But then there are the epic nights when the moon shares our love,
Joining the party for dinner and drinks, ours to still in awe,
Then happiness knows no bound, we are silently strengthened,
Likened to lovers of romance, ecstasy within the darkness we draw.
🌘
I reside knowing the darkness of the night and the brightness of the moon
Belong to me for all eternity, loyalty our motto, they’ll forever be by my side,
I can draw on their strength when mine deserts me, with their understanding,
And I can roll with the punches standing within their shadow and pride.
🌘
The writing is on the wall of my heart, forever calling their names,
Wrapping me in their security of the silent calls of our love,
Warming me from the cold, bringing me into the darkness of their desire,
Tormenting our nemesis with the shade of the pure blackness above.
🌘
I’ve no need of any other when I lie in the arms of their heartbeat,
Singing their praises on the ocean tides as they wander
The skies while the world sleeps, escorting me on the ride of my life,
And any who happens to glance upon the stars are left to ponder.
🌘
It’s the only time I feel I belong in the wilderness of a scorched world,
Freedom of the nightmare that has been my life before this companionship,
Evolving with the stars on my horizon, lighting my heart forever,
Grazing the strength of my accomplishments under their leadership.
🌘
Three unlikely lovers wandering through the nighttime hours in joy,
Darkness filling our hearts in the the musical heartbeat of validity,
Springing into action when the strength of the sun overshadows us,
Allowing others to believe we are beatable in their naïve stupidity.

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.

Apparantly I'm the only one who thought something else when I saw Threesome in your title 🤣🤣🤣🤣 This was such a beautiful and romantic poem but I went into reading it with by brain in the gutter, lol. Loved your poem so much!
I love this, Colleen, for the dark of night, the fullness of the moon, powerfully romantic, two, nay three, against the world.
