Errant
Wet footprints in lone beach twilight
appear
from secretive
paths to steal moments
as two recondite hearts deny
errant breeds danger.
Lullaby shush of deserted ebb tide
seeps
into intrigue
as hands and lips meet
and capture desire's clandestine
on rendezvous sand.
Tread cautiously lovers for maybe
romance
that moonlit caught
can move to foolish as fate
at will alters true to fantasy and
covert to failure.

...anything clandestine hints at danger and the unseen. Very emotive and sobering.
You use the right words in this perceptive view of danger surrounding the clandestine friend. Thank you loads for your visit and read of Errant.
I never get as far as clandestine on me walks with Fido. He never lets me, of course! heehee.
Thank you Orchi.
I got the distinct feeling this was no chance encounter .. one or the other had it planned for months I reckon .. x
Not far off the mark is your reckoning Nev. -- - Fate sure has its way in the end............x
The accompanying picture so aptly evokes the nature of your poem dear Fay. In the light of day all that is true will be revealed, but the cloak of twilight feeds our imaginings. A beautiful write my friend!
Your review is always most appreciated dear Bella and this comment proves no exception as you have more than the gist of what I tried to describe that twilight can amplify romantic feelings. So pleased you enjoyed the read my friend.
'Tread cautiously lovers for maybe
romance

so sweet
such a unique portrayal of intimacy
dear Fay
(on our tippy toes, we inch forth
tepid, yet ears deafened
by our pulsating, anticipation)
Indeed each romantically drawn clandestine step requires caution dear Mek - - yet the outcome can often change lives forever............... again my gratitude for your continued poetic support.
