Lin Lane Poet Rhyme

I'll Not Take the Moon For Granted

At the end of day, when the sun sinks low
and my love whispers 'good night' in my ear
I see in his eyes, silver moonbeans aglow
and know all I'll ever need is with me here

It's a magical moment when I catch him staring
a look of want smoldering in eyes, hazel green
It leads to tender caresses and intimate sharing
and the moment he calls me, "Sweet colleen."

How deftly he brushes clouded skies away
In a rainstorm, he invites me to dance
We laugh like children, 'til it turns into foreplay
Emotions ablaze in a night of romance

I'll not take those silver moonbeams for granted
for their glow has a rival in my lover's eyes
Each night he guides us to a world, enchanted
until dawn softly colors the morning sunrise


~Inspired by 'I Took the Sun For Granted'
    a romantic interlude by Chris Green

Thank you for the complimentary remarks you so generously offer me. Sometimes we all need inspiration that derives from someone else's thoughts.

Robert Lindley December 12, 2019 at 4:08 PM A very beautifully romantic sensual poem. With true and deep poetic prowess on display my friend. A gem and a fav too. Lin Lane December 13, 2019 at 3:24 PM Thanks very much, Robert. It was a founded on a poem Chris wrote about the sun, so I had to give the moon equal time. lol

Connie Marcum Wong December 10, 2019 at 11:51 AM I love to see how poets are inspired by other poets. This romantic poem during our full moon should inspire many Lin. It is beautiful! Now I need to go and read Chris' poem that inspired this beauty. Happy holidays my friend. : ) xxoo Lin Lane December 10, 2019 at 12:00 PM Oh please do read Chris' poem. Thanks so much for always being supportive of me, Connie. Though I've been away for months at a time, I feel my drive to write has been spurred lately. Not sure why, but the why doesn't matter. It's nice to know that those (such as you) who've read me over the last 4 years are still willing to read my work and leave genial comments. Thank you.
