Dance Across the Moon

Love is sometimes subtle 
like a dance across the moon 
or a cool evening’s breeze lit by stars. 

We smile, and then we turn away- 
these modest games we seem to play 
like Venus calling silently to Mars. 

“Come hither,” says a sultry look, 
a statement that a lover took 
as seed of an emotion meant to bloom. 

And if, by chance, we find romance 
together we may choose to dance 
a joyful pirouette across the moon.

Thanks Andrea! I'm glad you liked it. This is an atypical style for me, but it seemed to work. Once I am happy with a poem, I can only hope it will be well received by my audience. Thank you for your kind words! Ron
