Love Poem: After the Sunset

After the Sunset

Upon the descent of the sun,
the nocturnal beasts come out
and their approach is one 
that you cannot refuse.
As nature's melody plays,
within the air and in our hearts,
we, as animals, encounter the night.
We feel and sense each other,
as the night makes us more visible
in the reality of our love.
Entwining, as those nocturnal,
we can feel each other's heart
pounding to escape the bonds of day.
