A Song For Lunar Lovers

O' crescent moon I truly adore you so
Even the full moon upon the shore you know
Art' thee poetically made of cream white ivory
or maybe marble or like cheese in the story? 
When my day not my sky is blue
Cradle me in your crescent won't you? 
If rock you are upon which we can stand
pray sprinkle me your moonlit sand
Stardust if it makes me sail and fly high up to you
In your curved crescent canoe, a dream come true

You do rock, you rocky terrain way up there
All sad souls rock them then
In your swingy arching chair

In all the shapes and sizes that your sheen may show
Your Creator's artsy, creative magnificence
In designing even thy reflected luminescence
Dear God take a bow, for to Him alone I bow
Ah, glory be to God for thy diamond glow.
Crooning a song for any fervent lunar lovers like me
Join me in thanking the One Deity for all luminosity.
For this luminous nocturnal boon
we know fondly as the Moon

Moonlight, moonshine the most poetic glow
May moonlight through my windows flow

O' crescent moon you are the symbol of mankind's well wisher religion 
May darkness heed what your light symbolises, 
And realise, acknowledge and follow the one true God's opinion.

Quite an ambitious poem, that travels from one lover, more lovers, and the One Lover who is Creator. Liked it zaynab.

I have an astronomy background and have always been fascinated by the moon, either observing it with the unaided eye or examining the many features that mark its surface. I am especially intrigued by the very thin crescent moon that either follows or precedes new moon. The sooner the thinner the better. Your poem rolls rhyme, romance and rhythm all into one delightful offering. Thank you so much for posting it.

Great lunar loves; alas ... i simply need rain for romance & romantic escapades. You almost persuade me, though ... Salaam and shanthi Om (Yadon ki Baraath)
