Arthur Vaso Poet Free verse

Facing the Moon

It is a beautiful sunset

The dusk of night slowly enters

This chilly winter night

It’s not about seeing
The moon rise splendid in the sky

Like a light of love high above
Shining warmth to the shivering bare branches

Upon the first flakes of snow

Tumbling to ground

Inhaling the fragrance of fresh air all around



Like a delicate scent lingering

Her perfume captivates my desires

Lingerie on the corner bedpost

It’s not about seeing, or desire

It’s about my heart longing

For her eternal flame

The cold winters nights

Hide not the warmth

Firewood glows, illuminating our night

Her playful kisses

Upon my cold open lips

Make this a moonlight delight

As I delve into her hips


Notes: I call this a Mirror poem based on the one done by Charmaine Chircop, and thus the inspiration for this poem!  Her poem is called " FACING THE SUN "
