The night kissed back when love grew up and loneliness passed away. Congratulations on the HM. Short, sweet and certainly says a mouthful.
Sincerely,

A nugget.
This is like a little nugget of gold, small but immensely valuable.

Thank you, Henry ...
I took the photo with a cell phone camera ... and was so sad when it came out so small. But then I realized: it was meant to be small ... And a few hours after I took the photo, I saw this contest and entered ...
Thank you so much for reading, my loyal friend.

Thank you, Tamara!
It is also about Creation, when God (Supreme Naugth) kissed the Night, saying: LET THERE BE LIGHT. But it is a layered poem, as you noticed.
