Such Covert.
Such an ebony hour as this
re-paints sweet hue of stolen bliss.
Night's satin sheet rises
to awaken passion's escaping sighs
yet normal day over
finds darkness demands high risks.
Fugitive love plays
alluring games when two crave fire.
Re-created are thrills
for hidden in twilight's illegal kisses
double-coupled desire
keeps need alive for the clandestine.
Honesty ends when
ardour replaces that which it misses.
Such covert of night
converts nectar's taste into paradise.
Lovers world-over
delight in a tryst that is kept secret.
Yet ever will tears
be shed over lies woven into deceit.

YES INDEED FAY ~ In my experience (not personal of course ?) there is always a Hugh Price to pay for COVERT LOVE. So often the ultimate lasting PAIN far outweighs the transient PLEASURE. Thanks again for guiding our feet to walk a wholesome Path ~ Your faithfully BRIAN
High is the price for such covert behaviour my friend - thought you would agree that the pain caused is very weighty. Thank you for commenting with so much perception dear Brian.
Powerful message - thanks for this one Fay
Yes powerful is a good choice of word when thinking of such covert dear Michael. Glad you enjoyed the read.
A fine write Fay. Of course, I never experience it - I swoon before I get anywhere! heehee.
I knew you would swoon when you thought of such covert dear Orchi.
Another masterpiece Fay. ; )
Oooh your comment makes me blush dear friend. Smiles for the word you chose to give my latest offering.
The word masterpiece makes you blush? Well what if I were to tell you your poetry brings a smile from all the great poets in history. Fay, you have learned your craft and perfected it with precision on the highest of levels. To say you're an inspiration to all of us is an understatement. Long may you write Fay. ; )
