Twilight Encounter

I wrapped the overcoat around her frame,

A tender gesture, a lover’s gentle claim.

The misty veil ascended, shrouding the trees,

As we strolled, lost in the whispers of the breeze.

The rustling leaves beneath our feet,

A symphony that echoed through the heat.

My thoughts were elsewhere, in a world apart,

A battle raged within, a war to capture her heart.

But as I gazed upon her tranquil face,

I felt my senses calm, my soul’s dark place.

The summer sun dipped low, a fiery glow,

Illuminating her beauty, as the moments flow.

As the moon rose high, a silver crescent smile,

The pale light danced upon her skin, in a gentle while.

She vanished into the shadows, a fleeting dream,

Leaving me with memories, a bittersweet theme.
