Midnight Reading
In the blue-lit night glow of my heart
Its love unhidden finds my true life
Your words taking shape of throbbing want
A warm grip that our passion extends
Every rise and fall in every line
Yet half-wake is knowing a half-life
You abide, I seek but cannot find
With daylight my heart will hide alone
Praying for the blue-lit night of you
Geoff's Note: three tercets - nine lines of nine syllables

Thank you so much...
sometimes I wake up in the mid-night - searching for the words of my poets in the blue glow of a phone's screen... finding them I am satisfied... but hungrier than before...
such is the sound of 5 am the morning after the poem/poet

I can relate I also write some of mine at night time after waking up and not being able to go back to sleep.

Every rise and fall in every line > love the reference to poetry (my interpretation)
The repetition of "blue-lit night" makes this a strong poem!

YES!
thank you - this is the 5 am after stirring broken hearted in the mid-night searching for my poet and finding her words breaking and refreshing my heart and soul in the blue light of my phone's glow...
knowing that with the daylight my heart and love will be hidden but the longing will only increase...

Ah, the phone's glow... thank you for the explanation!
You're welcome and yes... I understand "the longing will only increase"
