From Poetic Asides:  Today’s prompt is a Two-for-Tuesday prompt. For those new to the challenge, you have the option of writing to the first prompt or the second prompt – or even both if you feel so inclined.

Here they are:
Write a bright poem.
Write a dark poem.


dark as a moonless night
my lover’s skin
shines like bright stars that lead
ancient ships across oceans
of kisses caresses hugs
that leave me breathless
winded and gasping
for more
square inches of
my lover’s
dark bright
skin.
