Notes About The Poem

Alone With the Moon

I'm alone with the moon tonight!

          Truly a divine heavenly body!
      A shape-shifting marvel to behold.
  As a waxing crescent, dazzlingly radiant
             And at her happiest;
      So inviting, her beaming smile.

            She steals the twilight sky
    Generously gemmed with bright stars.
        I came out to gaze at the stars
    Instead, I fell under the moon's spell
             Like a lone wolf seduced.

          Oh, how she owns the night!
        Her silver globe floats like hope
      Overhead, shining ever so brightly.
        A sad lonely moon now smiling;
             Grateful for my company.

          The charcoal sky is littered
              With millions of stars,
         But she shines the brightest.
             Her captivating beauty
                   Ensorcelling me.

    So shy, she never shows humanity
  The other side of her face. Oftentimes,
    Hiding behind a dark bank of clouds;
    Sinking herself towards the horizon,
   Yet her charm remains undiminished.

 A most sublime rendezvous! She tugs at
My sleeve to stay with her the whole night,
        Lest her smile turns to a frown.
          Goodnight, beauteous moon.
  I won't be a stranger, poor lonely thing.

      I'm alone with the moon tonight!
