On The Nature Of Night

He said:
Night separates us
Divides us in the dark
A person could feel
Completely alone
In streets etched from shadows
Arty and monochrome
Even though the streets
Are emptier by day.
Sounds swallowed in
Deserted places
Make echoed giants of our fears.
Nights reminds the mind
Of coming death.

She said:
Very dramatic!
Night brings us together
The hemisphere murmurs
Beneath the shared blanket of stars
Dreams mixed in cocktails
Of healthy, happy possibility
Like fetal history
Night hides our blemishes
And awkward differences
And connects with sleep's sinews.
It is the happy resting after day's effort
A longed-for blank in busy brains.

He said:
The night takes options from us

She said:
No - it makes us choose.
I tire of words! I choose action
And I choose YOU.
Let's fuck.

And they did.

Between Silk Sheets.

#nightdwellers Let us dance the night away under the stars. Whilst the moon watches over us from afar. Wrapped in each other is where we belong. I whisper in your ear of a lovers sweet song.

Silk Sky

#nightdwellers The sky it looks like silk, As the full moon shines right down. Catching every small cloud, Like the crinkles in silk sheets, found.

Howl

Kiss every freckle, Trace every curve, Push every pulse, And zap every nerve, The night is ours, We the night owls, See the full moon, It's time to howl. #nightdwellers.

@misslittleDHP really glad you liked it! 😚

@RichWithey good man

@wolfie @RichWithey I wish I could stay awake to join in the night long party...but alas this girl needs rest to keep up with her kids😓😓😓😓😓😓.....I cannot wait til I can get all rock n roll again😉😉😉

@misslittleDHP I've given up. Been getting to bed between midnight and two and the little ones wake us just before six. So I'm preserving myself in alcohol. Pickling. Lol... Enjoy your rest though, and here's to a return to parting once the kids are older!

@wolfie woooohoooooo🍸🍺🍸🍺🍸🍺
