Here  is one version of it.

Premiere Contest WinnerHoneymoon Serenade -edited to show video

Listen to the song at the link above on youtube. Sorry I can't figure out any way to put the song tune in this box


Just as the moon rises each night
and even as snow is caressed by its light,
then glowing, I'll rise, becoming your dawn,
your curved sleeping form to smile upon.

With eyes like bright stars, I then will embrace
the landscape of you, each small line on your face.
And surely you’ll mirror my worshiping glow,
for I am your moon and you are my snow.

I’ll keep shining down with each breath you take.
May I blaze in your dreams before you awake.
And softly I’ll whisper, “Keep sleeping, my dear.”
Your faithful beloved, I’ll always be here.

Congrats, Andrea : despite it being written almost a decade ago, still holds resonance. Moon opposite snow is lovely image. I enjoyed the music of Save the Planet version.x.

Blew me away. Perfectly romantic, long lived and known love that is still poetically embraceable. Look at the moonlight that came from your core, along with music at that, just divine ... CayCay

i rest my case....this is absolutely gorgeous....but you are quite correct about the music biz...you have to hustle, pray for lucky connections, iffy people, and look like Alice Cooper, why Emily Dickinson's poem "I'm Nobody! Who are you?" means so much to me

Andrea, 'And surely you’ll mirror my worshiping glow, for I am your moon and you are my snow.' Lovely Serenade from yesterday's eyes. Inspiration for so many more. -Richard

I thought I had commented on this one before, but I guess not. I know I have heard the song and watched the video! Was your honeymoon in winter? We were snowed in with two blizzards on our honeymoon in a little cabin. It was so quaint and perfect, this poem reminds me of those wonderful days. A fave for me!

Andrea, I'm gobsmacked! What a beautiful rhyme, in and of itself. But now I see your lyrics have been published in song, with a music video no less! Congrats to you on your win on mile 5 of my 2019 Poetry Marathon contest! ~Mark
