Muscadine

It’s Tale Weaver over at Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie and the prompt is evening.

Twilight eases in

as if someone secretly

draws our window shade

lower

                 and

                           lower

and

                                     lower.

 

Fireflies wink their

flirty winks and the sky

lets a few stars peek out

 

a hint of magnolia

caresses the air; the moon

rises like bread dough

in the slow, sultry near-breeze.

 

Another sip of Muscadine

And I can just about feel

Your hand holding mine.
