Facing the Moon

It is a beautiful sunset The dusk of night slowly enters This chilly winter night It’s not about seeing The moon rise splendid in the sky Like a light of love high above Shining warmth to the shivering bare branches Upon the first flakes of snow Tumbling to ground Inhaling the fragrance of fresh air all around Like a delicate scent lingering Her perfume captivates my desires Lingerie on the corner bedpost It’s not about seeing, or desire It’s about my heart longing For her eternal flame The cold winters nights Hide not the warmth Firewood glows, illuminating our night Her playful kisses Upon my cold open lips Make this a moonlight delight As I delve into her hips Notes: I call this a Mirror poem based on the one done by Charmaine Chircop, and thus the inspiration for this poem! Her poem is called " FACING THE SUN "
