The Lovers
Visit at Midnight
they don’t know i’m here
deep in the shadows
there’s nothing to fear
a whisper of
smile
or stray
kiss
a lily-soft
caress
behind gentle mist
night hides
lovelorn creatures
while captious Moon watches
aglow with longing features
haunting love
with no earthly host
destined above
raises
a ghost
.

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.

That is a well written poem with many hidden meanings.
I love the feel of this, and the idea of the Moon watching on. It flows both ways, and probably my favourite line is “while captious Moon watches aglow with longing features haunting love”. The shorter lines in the middle work really well too😊
Wonderful job on this challenge.
A great challenge entry and excellent work. I cannot do poetry LOL

Nice job.

Haunting. Literally. I think it's going to linger over me today.
Very intriguing. Great entry to the Challenge 😊
This is such a hauntingly beautiful poem. The sense of secrecy and hidden emotions add to the poem 's melancholy and unfulfilled love. Excellent work!

Gorgeous moods of limerence. So perfect for a night where I wish I could see the moon.
