#TANKA TUESDAY #POETRY CHALLENGE NO. 209, #POET’SCHOICE
It
was late.
the night dark.
Starlit moonbeams
Dance between the leaves
They held each other tight.
Whispering their words of love
The changing light tore them apart.
They ran for home, hot breath following.
Their night of forbidden love marked their backs…
