Ekphrasis On Moonlight Sonata 1st Mov
Lulling melancholic symphony
lingering like forget-me-nots
exuding exquisite scents
under the dwindling moonlight
that softly vanish at daybreak.
Interlude ~ silence fills the day
As the shades of another eve
come softly falling~
the music soars again
like floating dainty dandelions
in another nocturnal rendezvous;
Softly glows the waning moon~
on the placid lime lagoon
where you and I swim in love
that is not forbidden
under the moonlight.

Beethoven’s famous Moonlight Sonata was published in 1801 as op. 27./2. The Moonlight Sonata (“Mondscheinsonate” in German), this catchy name was given by the poet Ludwig Rellstab, much later in the 1830s. He likened the first movement to a boat floating on the lake Lucerne, in Switzerland.
