they don’t know i’m here

deep in the shadows

there’s nothing to fear

a whisper of

smile

or stray

kiss

a lily-soft

caress

behind gentle mist

night hides

lovelorn creatures

while captious Moon watches

aglow with longing features

haunting love

with no earthly host

destined above

raises

a ghost

    I love the feel of this, and the idea of the Moon watching on. It flows both ways, and probably my favourite line is “while captious Moon watches aglow with longing features haunting love”. The shorter lines in the middle work really well too😊
