Night’s Love Affair Poem by David Harris

A wisp of smoke from a crackling flame
signals a warming atmosphere
as two hearts smoulder
within the warmth of a summer night.
Sparks bust like fireworks
within their kisses of fire
embraced under a silver moon
heats this love affair.
The world is held with baited breath
to see what happens there.
The cocoon of falling shadows
cloaks any prying eyes
from their love affair.
There is a hush as darkness falls
as their time draws near
and with parting kisses
their night’s love affair end there.
