Night Out
You put your hair up delightfully.
In that way that left me breathless.
We went to the other side of town
where the lights were drowning out the night.
Later, we watched each other close our eyes
to sleep, and you were so still,
except for your breathing.
And I took it all in, with my eyes closed.

Night Out
Hello, Michael,
Wow, such a beauty. Reminds me a bit of Eric Clapton's, "You Look Wonderful Tonight."
Always so wonderful to read a poem expressing a man's purest feelings.
Excellent...
