Notes About The Poem

      Kai's Moon Contest ~ March 8, 2025

I'd Gift the Moon to You

My desire is to savor the taste of your sweet lips
and wake the flame of passion asleep in your heart.
I'd brush the contours of your face with my fingertips
then paint your beauty from memory as a work of art.

If I could I would fetch you the moon on a spoon,
and a drink made of honey that I collected from bees.
To make you smile, a romantic tune I would croon,
and profess my love for you while down on my knees.

I would cradle you affectionately in my arms at night
and then languidly sigh while breathing in your scent.
I'd compare you to the wonders of celestial starlight.
With such burnished love, I would be placidly content.

I'd write sonnets for you to reveal what's in my soul,
capture the moon for you and leave it at your door.
I'd wrap it in stardust and tie it with ribbons of gold,
solemnly vowing my heart to be yours, forever more.

Lin, you have a heart of gold. You write such beautiful words to inspire the rest of us to cherish the relationships we have. This is a wonderful public service! This is a very high form of love. Take care and smiles!! BTW, can you also throw in Mars for you know who?

I am delighted and humbled by your sweet compliments on my poetry... and ha ha at that request, Duke. There are some men I'd like to shoot into space... mars is where they belong since their attitude fits the 'Women are from Venus...' philosophy. Your gracious thoughts are gratefully appreciated.
