Lack of forte;

The night was overcrowded
with clouds and suspense
The moon tried to shine on
but the expanse of haze was too thick
to prevail

It was the stars' night off
which made it even harder to
see his eyes
But in the dark distance
clarity was born

Hope was reaffirmed
and love reached a pinacle:
an unstoppable, driving force
insatiable and unquenchable

The sun made its presence known,
pretentious and unavoidable
It broke through the trees
and daylight masked the lovers

...I am not a poet.
