Fiercely we took on the night.
We broke its silence with our hearts.
It all started with one kiss.
Now the bed creaks and creaks.
Our love talks its own language,
communicating our bodies.
Perfecting their own sign language.
So much energy fused.
So much youth,
in passionate bloom.
While our shadows silhouette,
only one with the night.

You know a bed that doesn't make noise is no good for making love in!  I loved reading this.....

'...only one with the night'...what an image!  You have, I believe, found your niche (at least one of them).

I like this, although if I were you I might change "creaks and creaks" to something else.  It doesn't seem to fit with the feeling of the rest of the poem. Perhaps it seems to scream where the rest of the poem whispers. Anyways.   Just call me the imagery police! LOL! I'm still training to, so ya don't have to worry.   Hope you don't mind the thoughts.

this is such a cool poem...
wonderful melding of imagery and sensual emote...
your gift of achieveing vivid and stark images with poetic succinctity is showcased in this gem
very cool write walker.

There are two lasting bequests
that we can hope to instill in our children
one is roots ...
the other ... wings.
