seeking you beneath the cover of night (unanswered 3am text)

we ride miles
into the ever-
changing night:
letters and quiet
voices whispered
between us

seeking into darkness, the
pitch black washes over
a clandestine first date

i wonder if you will
hold my hand please
find my eyes in the
forever softened glow --
candle light like ivy
all over me:
limbs that hesitate
:
a shy flourish
that trembles
to
inter/
/weave.
