Push aside
the curtain of day
looking to
eternal night:
breathless
sight.
Longing
sigh, clutch the sky;
hold me to
you tight.
Smitten with
the inky blue
I give this
night to you.
This is for IGwRT Sunday Mini-challenge. The challenge is to use the rhyme and meter form created by Paul Lawrence Dunbar. Specifics can be found at the site. Go read what everyone did and give it a try!

I like the joining of the eternal night, sky and lover, clutching, holding tight, giving and taking...and all in fine form. Lovely stars in that photo, too...who wouldn't want a gift like that?
