Magic Moonbeams

On a perfect day in April as the Moon begins to rise Past the echoes of the sunbeams that still tumble from your eyes I am swallowed by the feeling that the World belongs to you And each time you say you love me there is more I need to do As the gold of sunset merges with the indigo of night While the stars awake in splashes of their own eternal light I can feel your gentle breathing as your arms are round my chest Holding me inside a prison under permanent arrest As your fingers find their target and your lips begin to part I am lost beyond rememb'ring in the beating of my heart When you first said that you loved me there was such a Moon as this And she brushed the sky with silver as you won me with your kiss When you made your first surrender to the slightest of commands And I learned the way you blossom as I feed you with demands There were moonbeams filled with magic casting spells you must obey And you swore you were my servant on the most momentous day Now we're locked within the compass of the bright revolving spheres I am yours each way you want me through the passing of the years And the stars are now exploding into diamonds overhead As I lead my bright-eyed lover from the garden into bed

What a nice sweet flow of anapaestic measure, and so sincere and unforced and wholly natural the expression. Fine, true poetry that is not free (from) verse. Thank you.
