In The Shadows...

Thank you so much. Look out for that 'Hunter's Moon' now! :-)

Ahhhh once guarded and now wanting to let someone in, aye. Could be a scary, yet exciting thing to do. Especially, when it's someone that you want to let in to your life. Be not afraid, no longer to bare yourself.

Lol. Still feeling guarded actually. Either that or I don't want to spend any money, haha! Thank you, Libra. :-)

To me this reads like a haunted venue.
Like phantom of the opera.

Wow, haha. You make me sound like Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber (just for a second, lol). Well, I can dream, can't I? Thank you for spotting this one, Adelphina. Sorry to be a bore but is the full moon shining for you tonight?

Excellent crisp write… well penned dear poet…

Crisp, haha. I will settle for that. Thank you most kindly, Lil. :-)

This is awesome. I like the tiny little lighthouse, in the pic, wishing it was the moon probably. Or with it. Light for light.  
Perhaps there's a poem there, to be written about.  
In the meantime, we have your offering today.  I was super pleased with the chairs on the table aspect.  What a simple, yet very effective description of an end moment.  So clever. A brilliant thought you came up with there.  
Again, awesome.  Kudos to you for this very good write.

You're being far too kind, Styxian. And what you're alluding to, I think, when we really feel something in the moment feels so much better when we can translate it to a poem, absolutely. I honestly didn't spot that lighthouse. So cool that you did & thanks for your lovely response, my friend. 😊

I found this intriguing and sexy, with something definitely lurking around.....Nicely done. <3

Lol, thank you most kindly for the comment & RL inclusion. It's most likely me that is 'lurking'. 😊

If it is you,  Ill just open the door. <3

Awwww, bless you! 🤑

Your piece has put my mind in riddle mode!
Enjoyed!

Thank you peninnah. I never saw this as a mystery really but that's kinda cool too. 😊

Lol, yes! It does rather have that feel, doesn't it? ;-)

Love the vibe... It has a vampire or werewolf feel to it for sure to me. Mysterious...
You captured the seductiveness of a vampire or the carnal desires of a werewolf so
well in so few words. Very sexy stuff Billy. "Allowing you in - Where secrets hide."
I love that. When someone can act out those deepest desires... Mmmm....

Thank you KristinaX. There is a certain intimacy to the piece, I get that. So glad you came to visit. 😊

Well being sick I finally have some time to do a bit of reading. :) It feels like it's been so long. Wait, that's because it's been so long damnit. ugh

Ugh, I'm sorry to hear you've been poorly. I hope you get well soon. At least you are not 'time poor' for the time being. 😊

This one touched me way down deep !! Lol. I like it!!

Not too deeply, I hope, haha! ;-) Thank you. :-)

Yes way down deep because you put into words the thoughts in my head that I can't ever quite put my finger on .. like I've said you've quite a way w words.  I used to be good w words but my mind isn't what it used to be and I can never find the right words to express how I feel except in sill poems that are redundant and repetitive.  I love it tho...down deep !!

thank you Billy I had no idea this is so beautiful I'm deeply honored
I feel this deeply really I don't know what to say and is often the case with me
my feelings get tied up and I hold thoughts hostage I really love this 💕

You are most welcome, crimsin! Don't talk to me about hostages either. In my latest poem, I am being held captive by a beautiful female as well you know! ;-)

lol I'm reading your mind 😊

Thank you Tim. I like how this turned out in the end. I think there was some luck involved but I felt inspired in that brief moment.

This is beautiful and powerful.

Glad you liked it, Fia. Thank you. 😊

it still applies today I'm happy to inspire Billy ❤️

Thank you, crimsin. It could only be about you. I remember when I wrote it too. I was sitting in the darkened corner of a pub near closing time, talking to you on DUP. I also took a photo of that moment, you may recall. I was looking slightly miserable, lol. 😆

I do remember dearest Billy I'm feeling that way now...
