Every week we have a Creative Challenge. This week's phrase was "Just before dawn." This is what I wrote with the help of a friend.

I Pledge My All 

~ 

Just before dawn, 

the sky still dark, 

the moon shines brightly, 

stars glow and spark; 

I call out to the heavens- 

plead my case, 

beg for a chance, 

to see your face. 

~ 

Two souls connected, 

making us one. 

Two hearts rejoice; 

passion begun. 

No vows taken- 

none are needed. 

Words of love 

are what have succeeded. 

~ 

Birds sing 

as we wake to light 

and return to homes; 

we've shared one night. 

This love is forbidden; 

we hate to part. 

But I swear to give you 

my body, soul, and heart.
