Oh my goodness, I really like how intense that reading is. I agree that the rent is too high

Yes, the rent of living is high. Every thing is rented. The air, the time, the moments of our lives, every second is paid for. And it goes up every day.
Thanks for reading and listening

Well damn! I wasn’t expecting that ending!
(The moon was bad ass that night, wasn’t it!)
The rhymes bind the lines together really well. It was a very sweetly carried poem, until you devour your beau! LOL.
Awesome read!-

Thank you very much for your wonderful comment and your appreciation, my friend. Tuesday night I watched lady Moon, she looked pretty innocent, impossible to blame my badass fantasy on her. 🤣

The darkness has a power of its own at times. Especially when one is alone and thinking of someone that sets them on fire with lust. This is one of those dark writes, but an alluring one to. Well done, crimsin. 🙂
