“you are a light

holding me tight

against the dark chill

of the night “ may we all have that someone!

[Paul Wittenberger]

I hope everyone does, Diane—thank you!

[Stanley Wotring]

The last stanza is killer!

[Paul Wittenberger]

My favorite lines, Stan! Thank you for pointing them out!

"Night Poem" depicts two people taking solace in each other for the light their bodies carry as they venture into night's darkness together.

I missed this fine poem the first time, so I'm glad to read it now. Thanks, Paul.

[Paul Wittenberger]

I wish, Mr. Wittenberger swoon💥It’s difficult for me to not be honest, Lady G

And appreciate your honesty, Lady G. Thank you!

This so fresh and sweet:

"Pressing my body

against your own

like the stuffed animal

of your childhood".

[Paul Wittenberger]

Thank you, Portia

This poem flows so smoothly, Paul. A bit slow on my start today, and always a pleasure reading your poems!

[Paul Wittenberger]

Slow or fast, Gary, Thank you for taking the time to read and commenting!

[Jo-Ann Petrarca]

This poem is erotically romantic. “Together we flow into the darkness, where things happen. Only because of the light and never because of darkness.”

[Paul Wittenberger]

Thank you, Jo-Ann!
