Sunset Lake

Sparse eerie green clouds camouflage
A harvest-time full moon
Creating quiet illusion
Crescent moon open strewn

Dragger shaped twinkling diamond stars
Slide across silver back
Lending a quiet essence there
'Pon silhouetted pitch black

Alluring moon drew sleepy eyes
Come circle sunset lake
Grip a lovers strong hand caress
Kiss love, there's no mistake

Moon reflected 'pon sunset lake
Created atmosphere
An euphoric lover's haven 
Thinking very unclear

The moon in its silvery essence
Spoke of amorous mood
Bequiling scene set, engaged thoughts
Forgot you're shrewd and crude

It's the harvest moon's total fault
Engrossing was its hold 
No matter how handsome was he
My lips shouldn't have been bold
